Ciao Fabio,

thanks for the immediate response!

I've had a quick look at your commits and so have one minor remark. 
/usr/bin/nc is handled by update-alternatives and both packages 
netcat-openbsd and netcat-traditional have "Provides: netcat", so you 
also could simply use netcat as dependency instead, similar to other 
packages in Debian like foomatic-db-engine, virt-viewer or playonlinux 
for instance.

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle
