Its author wants to package his software for Debian.
Well, I just DL dibbler. The source code is C++, while dhcpv6 is C only. The source code for dibbler is much, much larger than dhcpv6. Dibbler also seems it wants to be a stateless server, like radvd in addition to DHCPv6 server. The last revision of dibbler seems to be in December 2004. The last revision of dhcpv6 is about a year ago. >From the sources, Dibbler seems to have a linux, windows 2k and xp ports. dhcpv6 is more for the BSD environment only. I don't know. I really think that maybe it would be best of dibbler AND dhcpv6 were packaged separately. It seems these two packages are complimentary, like Apache and webfs. Also, I do not think dibbler's client could ever be part of base due to its size. The upstream tarball contains the dibbler-client at about 1 meg. - Adam
