Perhaps libnet1.1 and libnet1.0 should provide libnet, but the problem 
is that some packages will compile with libnet1.0, and some with 
libnet1.1. If a package depending on libnet1.1 is compiled with 
libnet1.0, then it will most likely fail... So as a result, I'd rather 
the other maintainers just put dependencies on libnet1.1|libnet1.0, 
rather than libnet itself, otherwise that issue might rear its ugly 
head. :)

I don't see why this would be failing... any ideas anyone?
