The testsuite does some localhost testing. I don't think that access  
to 0.0.0.0 is needed. Only a loop device is requires AFAICouldT.  
However, I did not investigate any further.

As Debian's buildd chroot's are offline when building, I guess we  
would have realized earlier, if the package requires network access...  
(then buildd builds would have failed IMHO).
