Is it really a good idea to add an option for this library?

Debian dropped installing libipq 5 years ago, as this library is
deprecated:

  https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-netfilter-team/pkg-iptables/-/commit/bf21537d27ee72cc69ca0883059b315ceaf9737d

Also in 2012, iptables developers said they would keep this library for
1.5-2 years:

  https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/commit/?id=a624e0a1b2d075253b599ababd4ea1351ef42b2a

But then, when I look at the nrlsmf source code, I don't see any
reference to libipq or ip_queue.h. Am I missing something ?

Thanks,

Thomas
