Added to the Debian bug report. Basically the output problem is related to a Debian add-on patch to introduce the -q# option (delayed exit) which has been incorrectly adapted to the new code. However while testing a possible solution I found that upstream changed the default behaviour of nc to not shutdown the net socket when the local input stream closes. Now this requires using -N to get this back.
