Public bug reported:

On update to wily, vpnc vpn connects, but MTU is incorrectly set to
1500, instead of default value which is 1412.  This results in
connectivity issues (packet loss).

Gnomezilla bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754781

I have attached the included patch from above for convenience, and
tested that this indeed resolves the issue for me.

It might be worth mentioning that I had to disable the built in tests
(--enable-tests=no), or pakage generation with "debuild -us -uc -b"
fails on 2 of the tests relating to ipv6.
