Thanks for the patch, but unfortunately, there is not really a "correct"
path for the arping binary.
Instead of hardcoding it for Debian, I think it should be configurable
and filed a corresponding bug upstream.

Also keep in mind, that we do have two arping implementations in Debian:
iputils-arping (/usr/bin/arping) and
iputils (/usr/sbin/arping).

I'm leaning to support the former, i.e. set the path to /usr/bin/arping
and add a suggests on iputils-arping.
