This appears to have been fixed in Karmic, but you may wish to consider releasing a bugfix in Jaunty.
I haven't tested the exact effects of this issue in libnet-pcap-perl. It might be that these dependencies are unnecessary and can be removed, or it might be that some features are silently disabled (see bug #365770 for an example). If the dependencies should stay, the bug can be fixed by inserting a comma in the marked area.
As you say, it's fixed in Karmic already. I don't think it's necessary to fix Jaunty for this; it just means that tests don't get run at build time, which is annoying but not grounds for a stable release update.
