The comment about not installing the package at all is odd. I didn't manually 
select the package for installation.
As far as I can tell it's part of the default install. I installed the Ubuntu 
Studio flavour, so perhaps that's why it is still being installed. I've been 
dist-upgrading every few days and gnome-nettool is still there.

To clarify which documentation I was looking at - the help button from
within network tool.

#575694 is referring to more or less the same issue but refers to the 
'gnome-network-admin' package.
I am reporting an issue with 'gnome-nettool'. Strangely there is no Source: 
line in the package description
for this package, so I'm not sure if it belongs with gnome-system-tools, but 
perhaps it does.

I don't particularly care if this is fixed. 
I thought I might give back to Ubuntu by reporting that something seemed to be 
wrong.
