[ipt-netflow] ipt-netflow now in Debian

[Axel B. <ab...@de...>]

Hi,

A few months ago, I packaged ipt-netflow for Debian. So far it's
available in Debian Unstable and Testing. Locally I also use
backported packages on Debian Stretch/Stable. But since that's not
much more than a pure recompilation of the package, I haven't bothered
adding it to the official backports archive. (I might do so, if
there's a some demand for it.)

I named the package iptables-netflow instead of just ipt-netflow to be
consistent with other iptables plugins packaged for Debian.

For information about the source package, see
https://packages.qa.debian.org/iptables-netflow

And for the binary packages see
https://packages.debian.org/iptables-netflow-dkms and
https://packages.debian.org/irqtop

I build irqtop from the same source package but into a separate binary
package since on the one hand it's useful on its own and on the other
hand, I don't want iptables-netflow-dkms to pull in ruby as
dependency.

This is also visible in the installation statistics, since irqtop has about
10 times of installations than iptables-netflow-dkms itself:
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=iptables-netflow

(Disclaimer: At least four of the reported iptables-netflow-dkms
installations are my own. But this also means that there seem to be
some other users out there besides myself. :-)

Should be available in Debian Stable with Debian's next major release
nicknamed "Buster" (aka Debian 10).

P.S.: I uploaded a bug fix package yesterday as there were cases where
the kernel module would not have been built for the correct kernel.
(DKMS packaging woes. :-) Should be available in Debian Testing in a
few days, too.

		Regards, Axel
