reassign 399293 netbase
thanks
Note for Lennart: base-files is limited to contain the GPL, /etc/motd,
the /tmp directory, and little more, so it's mainly supposed to be a
static package, not a do-it-all package. Reassigning.

Subject: Bug#399293: base-files: please ship /etc/networks and include
"link-local 169.254.0.0" to it
Package: base-files
Version: 4
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
Please ship /etc/networks in base-files and include the following
single line in it:
link-local 169.254.0.0
If defined like this tools like "route" will show the string
"link-local" for the IPv4LL route created by packages like
"avahi-autoipd", "zeroconf" or "zcip". The string "link-local" instead
of the numeric 169.254.0.0/24 should be less confusing for users if they
encounter these routes after installing one of the aforementioned
packages.
The network 169.254.0.0/16 for link-local usage is defined in RFC3927.
Lennart
