Hi,

Thanks for the report.

I am a little confused though - as far as I can see, there is no
dependency on libiptc at all in iproute2. There is no linkage to the
libraries, and no build-dependency in d/control.
Only xtables is used.

The headers seem to be vendorized in the repository, so maybe it came
up from a global search?

Or am I missing something?
