#1002847 affects nttcp since start of 2022. It is not in bookworm.

The maintainer (tach@) is MIA since 2013.
The last upload was in 2012.

The upstream is gone since 2008 at least:
  nttcp (1.47-11) unstable; urgency=low
    * Add about upstream no longer exists to copyright text
       (closes: #455986)
      - Remove debian/watch file
   -- Taku YASUI <t...@debian.or.jp>  Sun, 20 Apr 2008 23:11:32 +0900

The results are either nonsensical:
  $ ./nttcp.amd64 -T szarotka
       Bytes  Real s   CPU s Real-MBit/s  CPU-MBit/s   Calls  Real-C/s   CPU-C/s
  l  8388608    0.06    0.01   1132.7729   8924.0511    2048  34569.49  272340.4
  1  8388608    0.07    0.02    961.3073   3528.7025    2808  40223.46  147649.6
(there is a 1Gbps ethernet link to szarotka)
because the default I/O buffer size is 4k,
or just broken outright:
  $ ./nttcp.amd64 -l $((1024*1024)) -T szarotka
       Bytes  Real s   CPU s Real-MBit/s  CPU-MBit/s   Calls  Real-C/s   CPU-C/s

  1-2147483648   17.37    4.66    988.8967   3689.3844  237576  13675.20   
51019.5

The package is obsoleted by src:iperf
(which is in main and not non-free, as an added bonus).
I suppose iperf doesn't have "PID throughput":
  $ ./nttcp.amd64 -R 1234567 szarotka
  nttcp.amd64-l: pid-rate (from 1234567 calls): 2903579/s
  nttcp.amd64-1: pid-rate (from 1234567 calls): 1830803/s
but. We can live without it.

popcon is low at inst=47 (vote=9 old=37 recent=1)
