Binary package hint: wakeonlan

Please include wakeonlan in Ubuntu main.

wakeonlan is useful for remotely powering on servers, as well as waking them from a suspended or hibernated state.

The package includes a very simple perl script capable of sending magic packets using UDP as non-root users, and is well documented.
