Bug#635472: xl2tpd: Rollback incorrect "ipparam" manipulation from upstream version 1.2.8

[Brian S. Julin]

Package: xl2tpd
Version: 1.2.8+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Upstream version 1.2.8 included a patch which causes xl2tpd to override
the "ipparam" option when it is present in ppp option files. Moreover,
it replaces the option contents with information which is already
available in the PPP_REMOTE variable/argument, and it does so by hardcoding
this behavior such that it cannot be overridden.

This change breaks all installations that rely on the ipparam to
conditionally execute ip-up and ip-down behaviors based on the
type of the connection.

A patch to revert this fix has already been posted in the upstream
xelerance bug tracking system. See https://gsoc.xelerance.com/issues/1078
