Regarding libip6t_rt.so being missing from Ubuntu Feisty...

1. Based on a quick Google search, the extension in question has existed since 
the 1.2 series of ip6tables, if not earlier. 
2. The extension in question is documented at 
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO-6.html
3. Other distributions also failed to ship the extension: I found a user's own 
attempt to patch RHEL/CentOS at 
http://patrick.vande-walle.eu/software/ipv6-vulnerability-in-rhel4centos4/
4. The extension is promoted by SixXS and RIPE as the solution to the 
vunlerability. 
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-54/presentations/IPv6_Routing_Header.pdf
5. http://www.natisbad.org/ has been tracking changes in the Linux kernel that 
apparently are failing to disable the vulnerability at the kernel level.

This extension should be added immediately and encouraged for
deployment.
