Well, I don't think that the default packages of some Linux distribution
(even if it's Debian - which is not the whole world) should decide if
one either copies the code (and bugs) or uses the lib/module.
Apart from that RHEL5/CentOS-5 (and thus Fedora since F6) have it in the
core repo (if I interpret the output from `rpm -qi perl-Net-IP`
correctly. But I activate/use usually also the kbsingh, epel, rpmfusion
and rpmforge repos - if only for CPAN modules).

That could be the other to use it in the core MD code too.
