[Bug 1078962] [NEW] Request to add Dropbox LanSync Protocol to /etc/services

[Andrew]

Public bug reported:

A growing number [1] of Ubuntu users use Dropbox. Dropbox's LAN sync
feature requires incoming connections to be allowed on TCP port 17500
[2] and is officially registered with the IANA as db-lsp (Dropbox
LanSync Protocol) [3].

I'd like to request that this service be added to /etc/services, so that
users who enable UFW can grant an exception for Dropbox LAN sync by a
more human-friendly name:

    sudo ufw allow db-lsp
