It's now fixed upstream with
https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/-/commit/640dbe42c1fdc8781d633edc256a35b925865887
and therefor now checking for nc.traditional as I suggested.

The fix is part of the v5.15.5 release of clonezilla,
so once the clonezilla Debian package gets updated, this
issue can be fixed together with a depend/recommend/suggest on
netcat-traditional.
