  * Drop obsolete upstart configuration file.

  * d/control: Bump minimum debhelper version to 10, drop BD on
    dh-systemd.
  * d/p/dpif-kernel-gre-mtu-workaround.patch,
    d/p/dpif-netlink-rtnl-Use-65000-instead-of-65535-as-tunnel-MTU.patch:
    Cherry pick in-flight fixes for workaround to correctly set MTU
    of GRE devices via netlink (LP: #1742505).
