In Ubuntu ipsetcat is provided by libcorkipset-utils package.

libcorkipset-utils is:

The ipset library provides C data types for storing sets of IP addresses, and maps of IP addresses to integers. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It’s implemented using “Binary Decision Diagrams” (BDDs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_decision_diagram), which (we hypothesize) makes it space efficient for large sets.

This package provides a few utility binaries for the library.
