a)
my intention when writing iemnet was to maintain compatibility with
mrpeachnet  (with silently dropping things which i find either ugly
hackz to circumvent problems in the current implementation (e.g the
"unblock" message) or things that have nothing todo with networking (the
possibility to directly send the contents of files)

in most cases they should thus be exchangeablee

b)
my intention as a debian packager was to provide both packages as
"pd-iemnet" and "pd-mrpeachnet", not making any of those the "canonical"
library.
i still think thaat both share sufficient parts of their interface to
make them be called "compatible", so i would also make both of them
provide "pd-net", allowing people to use them as "net/udpsend" (if they
can stick to the common API) or as "mrpeach/net/udpsend" if they cannot
live without sending entire files directly.

i haven't done the actual packaging yet (given my currently available
time...)

PS: and yes, i agree that the packages should be grouped by functionality.
