Package: iproute2
Version: 4.3.0-1
Severity: normal

iproute2's tc (traffic control) tool got support for eBPF classifier
and actions. To make use of them, tc needs to be linked against libelf
as it's parsing an ELF file to extract the map and bytecode specification
generated from a compiler such as llvm that is then pushed into the
kernel by tc.

Therefore, it would be great if the Debian package would add this as well,
so configure script enables building the functionality:

$ ./configure
[...]
ELF support: yes
[...]

Fedora package recently adapted to add the dependency as well [1], would
be great if Debian (and also implicitly Ubuntu) picks that up, too.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Daniel
