bird2: document the OSPF alignment patch

2026-08-11T12:35:02Z

The patch carried only a subject line and a placeholder commit id, so nothing recorded why marking struct top_hash_entry as PACKED fixes a bus error, or whether it can be dropped. Restore the description and the sign-off from the commit that introduced it in the routing feed, keeping the original author's wording, and record the upstream status. Verified that BIRD 2.19.2 still declares the structure without any alignment attribute, so the patch is still needed. The header keeps the "---" separator the sibling patch uses, and orders Signed-off-by last among the trailers. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5

bird2: drop stale conffiles entries

2026-08-11T12:35:02Z

/etc/bird4.conf and /etc/bird6.conf are left over from the bird1 packages, which shipped a separate configuration file per address family. bird2 is a single daemon handling both and installs /etc/bird.conf only, so the two entries refer to files this package never creates.
