Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vnstat

Rational for request:
The current version in Lucid is over 2 years old and contains a long list of 
bugs and limitations especially when used with interfaces that aren't always 
online (3G modems, wlans...). See the upstream changelog [1] for a complete 
list of correction since version 1.6.

The package is currently in the Debian NEW queue [2][3]. I've tested
that the package builds and works without errors in Lucid. Upgrading
from the previous version has also been tested.
