Hi

I have uploaded nsd 4.13.0 to Debian unstable.  According to your blog
post I noticed you added XDP support, but that it requires building with
--enable-xdp, see discussion:

https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/enabling-more-default-features-in-nsd-4-13-0/
https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/experimental-support-for-af_xdp-sockets-in-nsd/

What do you think about building with this flag in the Debian package?

Any reasons this may break unrelated things?

I think we are years away from a new Debian release, so it will only be
used by people tracking Debian unstable and testing, which I suspect few
use in production.  Which may be a good fit to get wider testing.
