Some, but not all, of the binaries in the inetutils packages have "alternatives" set. YOu can quickly find which ones do as follows:
$ for file in `find ./bitbake_build/tmp/deploy/rpm/x86_64/ -name inetutils\*rpm`; do ./host-cross/usr/bin/rpm -qp --scripts $file | fgrep update-al; done
update-alternatives --install /bin/ping ping ping.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove ping ping.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rcp rcp rcp.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rexec rexec rexec.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rlogin rlogin rlogin.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rsh rsh rsh.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove rcp rcp.inetutils
update-alternatives --remove rexec rexec.inetutils
update-alternatives --remove rlogin rlogin.inetutils
update-alternatives --remove rsh rsh.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /sbin/syslogd syslogd syslogd.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove syslogd syslogd.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/tftp tftp tftp.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove tftp tftp.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/telnet telnet telnet.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove telnet telnet.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /bin/ping6 ping6 ping6.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove ping6 ping6.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/traceroute traceroute traceroute.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove traceroute traceroute.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ftpd ftpd ftpd.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove ftpd ftpd.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /sbin/ifconfig ifconfig ifconfig.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove ifconfig ifconfig.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /bin/hostname hostname hostname.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove hostname hostname.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/talk talk talk.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/whois whois whois.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove talk talk.inetutils
update-alternatives --remove whois whois.inetutils
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/logger logger logger.inetutils 80
update-alternatives --remove logger logger.inetutils
But notice that telnetd (which is renamed in.telnetd), rshd (renamed to in.rshd) and others do not have alternate links even though they could also be included from busybox and therefore require an alternate.
Create alternatives manually on the target
$ configure --enable-board=qemux86-64 --enable-rootfs=glibc_cgl --enable-kernel=cgl
$ make fs
Examine the export/dist/var/lib/opkg/alternatives/ directory to see the alt's that have been created and notice that not all packages that could clash with busybox versions for example, have alt files here.
