[needs-packaging] ipwatchd

Greetings,

as you may know linux kernel does not react to Gratuitous ARP requests neither IP conflicts and therefore it would be very useful to have IPwatchD package in Ubuntu.

IPwatchD is simple daemon that uses libpcap to detect IP conflict on Linux. It can be configured to listen on one or more interfaces (alias interfaces are also supported) in active or passive mode. In active mode IPwatchD protects your host before IP takeover by answering Gratuitous ARP requests received from conflicting system. In passive mode it just records information about conflict through standard syslog interface.
