I don't see a problem here for distros. Distros control both the kernel
and libbpf, there's no problem in keeping those in sync.
Packaging libbpf from the kernel source would not help anything -
updating libbpf would still require a new kernel. There's no difference
between updating libbpf from a github repo or from the kernel source,
as far as dependencies are concerned.
