pcapy appears to be unmaintained, upstream contributions have moved to
the pcapy-ng fork. The rename seems to only apply to the source, not the
module, so it's a drop-in replacement.

Seems to be an easy issue to fix but IMHO seems to be new maintainers,
and probably follow a new way different to the original project, and we just
need to let it go.

I'd like to know if there was a similar situation before in Debian (I'll
