My package does not do a lot of these.

That looks quite neat. I have preliminary packages on http://ivanova.notwork.de/~mh/debian. I am going to test them on a clean system and against Debian kernel sources later this week. There seems to be an issue of the dhcp daemon answering requests on non-vmnet interfaces.
