ipdevpoll doesn't work with pynetsnmp installed on Debian Lenny

[Morten Brekkevold]

It appears that when pynetsnmp is installed under Debian Lenny,
ipdevpoll will not work (NAV 3.9.0b1).

The pynetsnmp AgentProxy class appears to be an old-style class in this
version, causing a super() call to fail. Traceback from the logs looks
like this:
