Thanks for the patch and for the idea.Unfortunately I can't put these utilies into the libnl1 package directly (coinstallability issues of libs), so we need a new binary package. I'd say libnl-bin would be a proper name to place these binaries.
Debian policy says, that each binary (especially console programs) should have a man page. I'm currently a bit short of time.
Would you volunteer to write man pages for these utilities? Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
