Thanks for the “go ahead”. :)

This is a different — active — upstream. Quoting pcaprub's README:

    This project was created because the currently available ruby-pcap
    library is poorly designed and has been unmaintained since 2000.

As I've written in the initial ITP, ruby-pcap should probably be removed
from the archive once pcaprub gets in: it has no rdeps.
