** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  Building this module against the new linux-hwe-5.8 kernel in focal
  returns the following build error:
  
  /var/lib/dkms/ipt-netflow/2.4/build/compat.h: In function ‘do_gettimeofday’:
  /var/lib/dkms/ipt-netflow/2.4/build/compat.h:695:4: error: dereferencing 
pointer to incomplete type ‘struct timeval’
-   695 |  tv->tv_sec = ts64.tv_sec;
-       |    ^~
+   695 |  tv->tv_sec = ts64.tv_sec;
+       |    ^~
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 
+ $ sudo apt install iptables-netflow-dkms
+ 
+ Build error(s) is(are) reported in make.log.
+ 
+ [Fix]
+ 
+ Fix by applying 2 patches from the same dkms module in groovy to
+ properly support the new 5.8 kernel.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ 
+ The source code for the 5.4 kernel remains the same, so there is no
+ regression potential. The new changes are all conditionals and they are
+ all applied to the 5.8 kernel.
