Source: perlipq
Version: 1.25-5
Severity: grave

The perlipq package exists exclusively to support the iptables ipq interface
for userspace packet filtering.  This interface was dropped from the Linux
kernel in 3.5.

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter-devel/msg21641.html

The Debian iptables package patched support for building libipq back in by
copying a kernel header (bug #707535), but this doesn't make it a useful
thing to have for jessie or later.

I recommend this package be dropped from the archive for stretch.
