Hi all, I'm restructuring this as an ITP.

I'm very keen to get bpftool in Debian as well, now that the copyright
concerns are resolved.

I'll work with the kernel team to get it packaged. Thanks Noah for all the
work so far.

* Package name    : bpftool
  Version         : 5.5.8
  Upstream Author : Various Linux kernel developers

  Description     : utility for querying and updating BPF objects

bpftool is a utility for querying and updating BPF objects on the system.

Packaging bpftool will improve the experience of developing and deploying
BPF-backed software on Debian systems.

bpftool is actively developed and is maintained as part of the upstream kernel.

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/bpf/bpftool

Therefore, the Debian kernel source package (src:linux) is a natural place for
the bpftool binary package.
