Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package scapy, which is part
of the net section, and maintained by David Villa Alises
<David.Villa at uclm.es>. 

This package contains : dummy upgrade package for scapy ->
python-scapy.

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation tool, packet
generator, network scanner, network discovery, packet sniffer, etc. It
can for the moment replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping,
tcpdump, tethereal, p0f, ....

In scapy you define a set of packets, then it sends them, receives
answers, matches requests with answers and returns a list of packet couples
(request, answer) and a list of unmatched packets. This has the big advantage
over tools like nmap or hping that an answer is not reduced to
(open/closed/filtered), but is the whole packet.

It was previously named scapy.  This is a transitional package
so scapy users get python-scapy on upgrades.  This package handles
scapy -> python-scapy.  It can be safely removed.
