net/libnet vs net/libnet-devel

[Adam McLaurin]

Hi Chuck,

I suspect that many ports actually depend on net/libnet-devel (e.g.,
net-mgmt/ettercap).

Is there any precedence to keep the arcane 1.0.x around (maybe
net/libnet-old). That way net/libnet could be 1.1.2.1, and
net/libnet-devel could be 1.1.3.

Thanks,
Adam
