This plugin requires libiptc which is only available as a static
library. As, per policy, libiptc has not been built with -fPIC, it
cannot be linked into a shared object on amd64 (and a couple of other
architectures). This can be solved by providing an additional package
which includes PIC support.

I'd really appreciate to see such a package for libiptc.

See [1] for more details about building packages with PIC support.

TIA,
Sebastian
