Could it be possible to import the latest version from Debian unstable fixing a bunch of issues and supporting features from more recent kernels? Please note that Ubuntu Noble 24.04 will probably be shipped with the v6.8 kernel [1]. IPRoute v6.1 supports features added up to the v6.1 kernel, so missing the ones added to earlier versions. Switching to the v6.7 now should ease the upgrade to the v6.8 later.
