Title:
  Sync ethtool 1:4.5-1 (main) from Debian testing (main)

Status in ethtool package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
