Public bug reported: Hi, Debian packages libbpf and so far does so out of the kernel source [1]. There is some movement to separate that from the kernel source [2] but this isn't ready yet. So far it is just a sync of the subtree out of the kernel sources.
Since we do not share our kernel packaging we will not get this for-free without doing anything. If there will be an ITP about it in Debian I'll let you know and we can abort this, but unless that really happens I wanted to ask if you could as well build the libbpf* packages for 19.10 and onward? Note: this is not the same bpf lib as [3] despite the similarity in names.
