The symbol NL_CAPABILITY_VERSION_3_5_0 is part of the libnl library and
this will be defined when using the libnl library version >= 3.5.0.
From libnl 3.5.0, the library itself handles setting NLA_F_NESTED flag
when using nla_nest_start() lib function. Please refer the
commit 7de65a0 ("attr: mark nested attributes as NLA_F_NESTED") in libnl
gitub tree (https://github.com/thom311/libnl/commit/7de65a0).

Huh ok, I guess I missed the memo on the (official?) tree moving ...

I beleive https://github.com/thom311/libnl/ is the official tree for libnl
and I see Pull Requests are getting accepted in Github. Others can confirm!

Yeah, debian seems to be shipping from that tree too.
