I've pushed dsniff into testing in spite of a missing arm build, to address this release-critical issue; so that's taken care of now. However, in the future, it's important to make sure that when the soname of libnids changes, the package name does as well, or partial upgrades become impossible. There are fortunately no packages in woody that depended on libnids1, but if there had been, I would have treated this as a release-critical bug in libnids. Such silent ABI breakage will be treated as RC after sarge releases since dsniff will ship with sarge. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
