Dear Maintainer,

Hi


would it be possible to include "GeoLiteCity.dat" in this package too?

No. There is no builder available to build the city database from the source csv, so it is non-free.


netsniff-ng requires "City-data", c. f., http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703855

I do not think that the city database is accurate enough to be seriously used in a tool. IMHO netsniff should not hard depend on it.


If netsniff-ng would use "geoip-database-contrib" instead it might probably be
put into "contrib" itself.

And if you suggest geoip-database-contrib?
