[Voyage-linux] voyage 0.6 kernel/iptables/iproute2 patches

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi,

I had investigated to build iptable and iproute with customized patches 
but gave up, as the work to maintain these packages is huge and it is a 
long term commitment to me. 

So I am interested to have these packages to be available in voyage deb 
repository.

Regards,
Punky
