Control: tag -1 pending I just pushed a fix with the following debian/changelog snippet:
Change defaults from "-q0" to "-q-1" to match upstream defaults since the introduction of flag "-N" in version 1.110. Passing a non-negative value to "-q" now implies "-N"; in particular, "-q0" is now a mere alias for "-N". (Closes: #854292) An advantage is that the quit-timer patch is not so invasive anymore [0]. And our defaults coincide again with upstream's. -- Guilhem. [0] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/netcat-openbsd.git/tree/debian/patches/0005-quit-timer.patch
