Bug#858860: RFS: arpwatch [ITA]



Hello,


The reason for not using a "dirs" file is that in general the upstream build system should
work "alone", without external helping from our side.
This patch is upstreamable, and fixes the issue for other distros out there.

Having such custom hacks in debian packaging hides the problem, and leads to people
running ./configure manualy complain loudly.
So, when possible, please use an "upstreamable" approach to issues
(the above is a general answer)

>I think you don't need the ~exp1.


the pro for using -1~exp1 is that the upload on unstable
can go as -1 without having a -2 revision bump.
But... who really cares? :)
