It opens a listening socket on the local machine and forwards any connection to a remote host.please check bug #111314 and assess whether that package is necessary. granted, i am taking a long time to upload this, but the package is ready and i have just become a maintainer and simply don't know exactly how to upload yet...
I took a look at ip_relay and it looks to have a different purpose: to limit bandwidth. simpleproxy does not have this functionality, but it does allow you to run it from inetd... So I think both these packages have their place in debian.
