Comment (by renodr):

 I believe it's done this way to merge kernel API header changes into
 iproute2.


 {{{
 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/tree/README?id=93d0d92f615a853fe5423d36e9a2ef2c1fee9e52
 }}}


 {{{

 4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
    the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
    if you have special requirements and need to point at different
    kernel include files.
 }}}

 With that logic then, I assume that a new version of iproute2 is released
 for every new minor version of the kernel.
