Package: jupyter-client
Version: 8.6.2-2
Priority: normal
Dear Maintainer,
jupyter-client's dep8 tests invoke /sbin/ifconfig. This binary comes
from the bin:net-tools package, which in ubuntu is priority optional,
and in debian is priority important.
In ubuntu, the dep8 test fails[1] because net-tools is not installed by default:

In Debian this is likely not a problem (yet?), and the test passes.
In Ubuntu I had to add the net-tools dependency:

Since this is the only delta between ubuntu and debian, I would kindly
ask you to please also add this to the debian package. At first
glance, it's not necessary, but it seems more correct.
Thank you
