Hi,
Debian packages libbpf and so far does so out of the kernel source [1].
There is some movement to separate that from the kernel source [2] but this isn't ready yet.
Since we do not share our kernel packaging we will not get this for-free without doing anything.
If there will be an ITP about it in Debian I'll let you know and we can abort this, but unless that really happens I wanted to ask if you could as well build the libbpf* packages for 19.10 and onward?

Note: this is not the same bpf lib as [3] despite the similarity in names.

Reasoning:
BPF becomes more and more important in general and is used in the kernel for many things. In the case that brought it to my attention it will be a PMD of DPDK that will need it to control XDP [4]. And XDP in general is an interesting and rising feature for network acceleration - I'd think it would be helpful to have this package around in Ubuntu.
