Please sync ethtool 1:4.5-1 (main) from Debian testing (main)
--------------------------------------------------------------

* This is mostly a bugfix release (with an exception of two new features
in the upstream changelog)

* The package comes from Debian testing, which means that:
 - It compiles and up to date on all architectures it has previously been compiled for in unstable;
 - It does not have release-critical bugs;
 - All of its dependencies are satisfiable by packages already in testing, which is what the LTS is derived from;
 - Installing the package does not break any packages currently in testing
-------------------------------------------------------------------
