While the name of the libpcap package is  libpcap0.8 on linux systems 
(at the very least on debian based ones), the code it's built from is a 
later version (currently 1.1.1).

The command "apt-get source libpcap0.8"  yields a tar of the original 
libpcap-1.1.1 source, a tar of debian changes, and a directory named 
libpcap-1.1.1/ containing the source with the debian changes applied.

I think that the package will probably always be called libpcap0.8, and 
should be perfectly safe for use with programs that require at least 
libpcap version 0.9.
