Sorry, drop in the latest upload.

I'm following the debhelper(7) manpage which it said that add
debhelper (>= 9) for compat level 9.
However, I adjust it to debhelper (>= 9.20120115~) as your suggestion.

Adjusted and for libipset2 description also.

Drop, it's unnecessary as your suggestion.

The ipset depends on libmnl which it is installed in /usr/lib or
/usr/lib/[arch triplet] if it willing support multiarch.

I think, it's not appropriate to install ipset in /sbin when it's still
depends on libmnl that installed in /usr.

Thanks in advance and please review again.

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/ipset

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/ipset/ipset_6.12.1-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  * Imported Upstream version 6.12.1
  * debian/patches/99-ipset-shared-libs.patch:
    - Drop as the upstream provides the configuration parameters to force
      the ipset binary to link with shared lib.
  * debian/patches/90-fix-typo.patch: Add typo fix
  * Enable settype dynamic modules support
    * debian/rules:
      - Add --enable-settype-modules to configure.
        All settype modules still build as static which included in libipset
        as usual but the ipset binary could runtime load the additional modules
        installed at /usr/lib/[arch triplet]/ipset.
    * debian/control:
      - Add libltdl-dev to build-dep.
  * debian/libipset2.symbols: Add symbols file
  * debian/control:
      - Set debhelper (>= 9.20120115~). (thanks, Arno Töll)
      - Drop dh-autoreconf from build-deps as it's unnecessary.
        (thanks, Arno Töll)
      - Adjust the packages description which should not start with capital
        letter. (thanks, Arno Töll)
  * debian/rules: Drop autoreconf addon from debhelper configuration.

Best regards,
