While the name of the libpcap package is libpcap0.8 on linux systems
(at the very least on debian based ones), the code it's built from is a
later version (currently 1.1.1).
The command "apt-get source libpcap0.8" yields a tar of the original
libpcap-1.1.1 source, a tar of debian changes, and a directory named
libpcap-1.1.1/ containing the source with the debian changes applied.
I think that the package will probably always be called libpcap0.8, and
should be perfectly safe for use with programs that require at least
libpcap version 0.9.
