You dont need to NMU that, since net-tools is maintained.

The bug in question is a bit of a problem, since i suspect there are scripts
out there who rely on user field starting at column 80. Thats why I want to
fix this bug together with a new script-optimized output format (which has
an unformatted, single space delimited flow format).

That way the scripts can be converted to  use the lossless, easy to parse
format.

I think a better patch would be the following:
