 Let me clarify that bit: in all the other options, the user makes a conscious
decision to enable ncat (and therefore the nc symlink). With this option,
however, the nc symlink will be created without the user being aware of it, so
it could be that it is not what the user intended. This is only a problem if
netcat-openbsd is also installed (since ncat is a strict superset of GNU and
busybox nc).
