Right now we need to have this ugly workaround in debian/rules whenever
we need to use bpftool at build time, which is becoming more and more
important as we need to build CO-RE binaries, for example in
src:systemd:

ifeq ($(DEB_VENDOR),Ubuntu)
bpftool_binary := $(shell find /usr/lib/linux-tools/ -name 'bpftool' -perm /u=x 
2>/dev/null | sort | head -n1)
ifneq ($(bpftool_binary),)
export PATH := $(shell dirname $(bpftool_binary)):$(PATH)
endif
endif

Can we please get an unversioned bpftool package that ships a
/usr/sbin/bpftool executable that is usable and doesn't look at the
_running_ kernel to choose what to run? That way we can just build-
depend on 'bpftool' and run 'bpftool' and be done with it.
