The bug was reported to me incorrectly. I have determined what the actual problem is, and it the problem is in libnet0, not libnet1.
I have sent a message to the Debian developers as well at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536202 The response was as follows: Sorry about the mistake, but there was a confusion between the libnet0 and libnet1 packages on Ubuntu. I have personally investigated this bug now and found that there is no problem with libnet-1.1.x, but rather the libnet0 package, which is libnet-1.0.2a. It looks like libnet1 has fixed this exact problem. The patch that was given was actually for libnet-1.0.2a. Again, sorry for the confusion.
