Bug Description
The iputils package included in Ubuntu is from 2012. There have been several releases since then and should be updated. Specifically, the iputils-ping package needs to be updated to support the unified ping binary.

Given 16.04 is a LTS, it would be extremely bad for Ubuntu to miss this updated.
Competitively, Fedora 24 will be including it as well.
