Thanks. I'm OK with not having this on wheezy. I gave it some thought and I
believe it is safer not to include the first multiarch libnet in stable since
it may randomly break something (even without being libnet's fault). We can
upload it to backports later.

I followed the CDBS conversion here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation
which requests for debhelper >=8.1.3. I changed that to 9 now (no upload yet).
Which multiarch dependency did I miss?

Nope. Just using it locally for some time now without rebuilding anything
against it.
I suppose a push to experimental will help with that.
