I thought Libranet did this too, but I have since pinned it to 
testing/unstable (Debian).  Not sure about this, and have not bothered to 
think to much about it yet. It is still pointing to libranet sources besides 
the deb sources, so I think keeps track of the Libranet version some where 
besides /etc/issue. May look later, anyone else care to add ?
