+Optional dependencies: Certain command line options to 2ping require

+- dnspython (built after python3 is installed): --srv option.
+- netifaces (built with PYTHON3=yes): --all-interfaces option.
+- python3-pycrypto: --encrypt option.

+The package can include a wireshark plugin for decoding the 2ping
+protocol. This requires your wireshark to have been compiled with lua52
+(not lua, which is version 5.1). See the README for network/wireshark
+for details. If you're not sure about your wireshark's lua version, try
+"ldd /usr/bin/wireshark|grep lua". This will show either liblua.so.5.1
+or liblua.so.5.2.
