You're right Nils, iproute-dev is no longer built.... on purpose.
I helped port the last user, collectd, away from using it a long time ago.
There's no point in using a static "library" which only worked on a
limited set of 32bit architectures when there are so many other
proper libraries which works on all (linux) architectures available.

Yes, please remove binary:iproute-dev if it isn't already gone.
