Bug#958440: ITP: packetsender -- Network utility for sending and receiving TCP, UDP, SSL packets

[Eriberto <eriberto@eriberto.pro.br>]

Hi Dan!

Thanks for your help. I March I packaged Packet Sender and now I
decided send it to Debian. I will review my package in few days and
contact you if I need changes.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Eriberto
