Actually it got removed from wheezy in the mean time. Since it was
marked that way in dla-needed.txt, I pinged the ftp.d.o bug report and
pinged Chris Lamb (as ftp assistant) and the package is gone from wheezy:
$ rmadison libnet-ping-external-perl
libnet-ping-external-perl | 0.13-1 | oldstable-kfreebsd | source, all
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libnet-ping-external-perl
Cheers,
