Comment 1 for bug 79182

I also wanted to use this package, but haven't even tried to install it after reading your bug report. I suspected that Ubuntu might not contain ipset patch...

This would be a great addition, although I'm not a kernel hacker and I'm not sure what's the impact of this patch, IMO it has to be decided how to proceed here.

My use case is that I set up Shorewall and want to use its built-in support for ipset to see how it performs with large rulesets - supposed to be very promising. But without manual kernel recompilation, it's not something you can do on Ubuntu now.
