[Bug 1077110] [NEW] Sync iproute 20121001-1 (main) from Debian experimental (main)

Please sync iproute 20121001-1 (main) from Debian experimental (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Add cross-building support.

----------

The Raring (and Quantal) kernels support the new fq_codel network
scheduler, but the iproute package also needs to be updated to make
full use of the functionality.

Iproute in Debian unstable is currently frozen by the Wheezy freeze;
Debian maintainer Andreas Henriksson has been uploading updates to
experimental in the interim.

Per Andreas (and test results from a PPA build of the new iproute),
the 'experimental' version is okay to ship in Ubuntu.  However, one
signficant bug has been fixed upstream (we might consider carrying
this as a patch on top of 20121001-1 until the next sync):
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f747fd9377b8538adeba7332d25905ba08ac156;hp=ec72fd73803bc976c997e6a727a5a174aa2db86d

The Ubuntu delta (cross-building support) will also need to be
re-applied.

----------
