Title:
  netcat-openbsd is in main but netcat-standard has a netcat dummy
  package

Status in netcat package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in netcat-openbsd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For installations that don't have netcat-openbsd somewhere in the seed
  then any package/user that installs 'netcat' will get 'netcat-
  standard' from universe rather than 'netcat-openbsd' from main. (One
  example is the ubuntu-fan package that recommends netcat)

  Installing the 'netcat' transitional package should provide users a
  supported package as one exists.

  Suggested action:
  * Remove the 'netcat' dummy package from the netcat-standard package
  * Add a 'netcat' dummy package to the netcat-openbsd package
