[Bug 351591] [NEW] Please sync libpcap 1.0.0-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Please sync libpcap 1.0.0-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Motivation: the update fixes a bug where the any pseudo interface cannot
be used in tcpdump.

The package builds fine in a jaunty pbuilder and installs and runs fine on a jaunty system. Tested with both tcpdump and wireshark.
It is a bug-fix only update. The soname remains unchanged: SONAME libpcap.so.0.8

The current version in jaunty does not have Ubuntu changes.

Changelog since current jaunty version:

 libpcap  (1.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Upload to unstable.
   * debian/libpcap0.8.shlibs: Bump to >= 1.0.0-1 (no real changes, just
     cosmetics).
   * debian/patches/20-fix-any-intf.diff: New patch cherry-picked from
     upstream; fixes handling of the 'any' device.
   * debian/patches/series: Update.
