/etc/services does not list icecc

Bug Description

Ubuntu ships icecc which broadcasts on 8765/udp. It would be nice to list that in /etc/services, as that would make configuration of portfilters (and finding out who is causing log-entries in the firewall logs;-) much more easy.

icecc 8765/udp # icecream

should do the trick.

Not recognized by IANA, but debian has added to /etc/services before (webmin) for things that aren't recognized. Leaving open for a higher up.

Ubuntu doesn't want to maintain a delta on /etc/services. Apparently Debian has also become a bit stricter on what it's actually adding to the services list.
