Severity: important

Hi Maintainer

The autopkgtest of davmail has a dependency on the netcat virtual package.
It was discovered in Ubuntu (LP: #2029465) [1] that davmail's
autopkgtest will pass or fail depending on which of the two packages
providing netcat; netcat-openbsd or netcat-traditional, is installed.

Please consider switching the autopkgtest dependency to one of the
real packages.

I think it should be policy for autopkgtests not to depend on virtual
packages, but I will try to find if there is consensus within Debian
before raising the severity of this bug.

Regards
Graham
