In the meanwhile I could verify that the v3 version can distinguish
between Windows XP and Windows 7/8. :-) Unfortunately the output is
much worse to handle with grep and friends than from v2. :-/

For that I needed a package of p0f v3 anyway, so I built one. :-)

It's based on the official package as in Debian Unstable, but
completely revamped (e.g. I rewrote debian/rules with debhelper) and
more or less free of lintian-warnings, even with --pedantic. The only
thing lintian (correctly) argues about is, that upstream no more
provides any man-pages. :-(

I've put a source package and an amd64 package online here:

  http://noone.org/debian/p0f_3.06b-1.dsc (signed)
  http://noone.org/debian/p0f_3.06b-1_amd64.deb
  http://noone.org/debian/p0f_3.06b-1_amd64.changes (signed and
  contains hash sums of p0f_3.06b-1_amd64.deb)

The .dsc and .changes are signed with my key in the Debian keyring.

Despite being built in a Sid pbuilder, it works fine on Debian Squeeze
(which is where I need it currently), too.

Cc'ing the original reporter in case the package helps him for his v3
use case.

> P.S.: Please mention if you need or want a co-maintainer for p0f.

The package mentioned above currently lists you as maintainer and me
as co-maintainer.

If you're fine with that, I would upload that package to Debian
Experimental -- possibly with some further minor changes.

For the ease of coordinating joint work on the package, I would
propose a git repository under collab-maint on alioth. (I actually
already have a local git repository for my work on the package so far.
I'd just have to push that somewhere and add Vcs-* headers to the
package.)

In case you have no more interest in this package, it also would be ok
for me to take over maintenance of the package alone.

                Regards, Axel
