Hello,
After looking at it and discussing this with Dann Frazier yesterday (via
IRC on #ubuntu-release), we discussed that iproute2 is an important
package, it's in main, and has a huge bunch of reverse dependencies.
Bumping from 6.1.x to 6.8.x is a bit too much atm, especially given how
much is already happening and this being an LTS release.
So with that, I'm going to NACK it for FFe and ask this to be uploaded
via 0-day SRU or a regular SRU. :)
Sorry but I hope you understand.

Title:
[FFe] Merge iproute2 with the latest Debian version: 6.8.0-1 from
testing/unstable (main)
Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
iproute2 upstream produces releases coinciding with upstream kernel
releases to support the latest kernel features. Noble's iproute2 is
still back at v6.1 even though it will use the v6.8 kernel. This means
we provide no userspace interface for newer features - some of which
are noted by a networking hardware partner in bug 2060969.
Ubuntu's iproute2 has diverged from Debian's to add support for Ubuntu
FAN. Noble has dropped kernel support for Ubuntu FAN, so those are no
longer needed, and we could now just do a merge. We could also port
the FAN patches forward if we can identify a need (see the original
description of this bug to a link to such a port), but I have not done
any testing with that.
I have built Debian's iproute2 in a noble ppa at ppa:dannf/test and
smoke tested it on an amd64 virtual machine:

The system rebooted fine. The ip command seems to behave normally.
Since the upstream test suite only appears to run at autopkgtest time, I
triggered a run in my PPA, and it passed:
