[ Test case ]

Install the latest linux-6.17 kernel on Noble:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa3
$ sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-24.04-edge

Install rtpengine-kernel-dkms:

$ sudo apt install rtpengine-kernel-dkms

Load the module:

$ sudo modprobe xt_RTPENGINE

The same procedure can be repeated on linux-6.8 to test for possible
regressions.

[ Fix ]

Upstream patches from rtpengine (https://github.com/sipwise/rtpengine/):

-debian/patches/0002-MT-55283-deprectate-RE_EXTERNAL-switch.patch
-debian/patches/0003-MT-55283-use-ccflags-instead-of-EXTRA_CFLAGS.patch

[ Regression potential ]

We may experience regressions in systems that are using the rtpengine
drivers, especially with kernels >= 6.8 kernel.
