Bug#616652: remove dnet support for now

It is simply not acceptable for an audio library to cause a new 
network protocol to be enabled and the machines MAC address to be 
changed. You should build libroar1 without dnet support until libdnet 
is changed so that just installing it doesn't cause dnet to be 
enabled.

See my last post on this bug[0].

libdnet does not require(depend on) any kernel module, changed network
configuration or similar.
The is _was_ a bug in dnet-common witch you may have noticed. Please see
#635604 (and maybe #636373).

Do not (re)open bugs on the wrong package. Thanks.

I had already read that but you are wrong.

But libroar added the dependency which pulled in dnet-common. And from 
installing dnet-common, it is immediately obvious that this is not 
obvious that that package is not something a normal user should have 
installed. Therefore this problem _is_ the responsibility of the 
libroar maintainer and the bug is not filed against the wrong package.

But since dnet-common has apparently been changed by now, I will leave 
it at that.
