Thank you for your quick response.
However, the tag  "wishlist" does not sound very convincing to me. TIPC 
is not a one-man or small interest group project, despite still being 
little known. It is the main IPC solution used by my company, telco 
vendor Ericsson, as well as by WindRiver, Huawei and numerous other big 
and small companies.

It would be very nice (an I would personally be very pleased) if we 
could add Debian/Ubuntu to our list of eligible distros for our 
applications.

Thank you
Jon Maloy,

Title:
  tipc tool isn't built in iproute2

Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A new tool "tipc" was added to iproute2 v 4.1.1, needed for managing
  the TIPC kernel module.

  Despite being present in the source code, it has not been built in the current iproute2 package that comes with 15.10, something forcing all users to check out the code and build it manually.
  The reason for the buld failure is that it has a dependency to libmnl-dev, although this is not listed in the dependency list. Stephen Hemminger has confirmed that that using libmnl in iproute2 is ok, but unfortunately the dependency has been made optional, meaning that the build will just silently bypass TIPC is libmnl-dev is not found.

  If you just add libmnl-dev to the dependency list and make sure it is
  available when iproute2 is built the problem should be solved. On our
  side we will try to have the optionality removed from iproute2.
