Package: ipcalc

Dear Maintainer,

ipcalc included in Stretch still produces output containing network "classes", 
a concept that has not been valid since the early 90s and the introduction of 
CIDR (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1519).

For example:

$ ipcalc 192.0.2.0/24 | grep Class
Hosts/Net: 254                   Class C
$ ipcalc 10.0.0.0/24 | grep Class
Hosts/Net: 254                   Class A, Private Internet

I will prepare a patch to remove this output from the program.
