* Package name : nfacct

Description : command line tool to create/retrieve/delete netfilter accounting objects
Dear Debian comunity:
I would like to package and mantain nfacct.
Main Features
* listing the objects of the nfacct table in plain text/XML
* atomically get and reset objects of the nfacct table
* adding new objects to the nfacct table
* deleting objects from the nfacct table
nfacct requires libnetfilter_acct, libmnl and a kernel that features the nfnetlink_acct subsystem. For officially released kernels, this means 3.3.
This is interesting for the Debian server land, allowing us to combine with ulogd to achieve such things:
