Arch Linux

In [gnome-unstable] the dependencies iputils and nmap were added to gnome-nettool. Perhaps nmap should be made optional as it is a heavier program and is only needed for the "Port Scan" tab (gnome-nettool will tell to install nmap if it isn't). Debian has no nmap dependency at all: http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnome-nettool

It would also be possible to make netkit-bsd-finger optional, which unnecessarily installs xinetd for the finger server. Gnome-nettool will use pinky (lightweight finger) from coreutils package if it cannot find finger. I don't think anyone uses finger nowadays.

To get the netstat tab working netstat is needed. Therefore net-tools should be an optional dependency. Please don't depend directly on it as it is really old stuff. Gnome-nettool instead should use iproute2 in the future.

Namcap also wants a dconf dependency, I don't know if that's correct, just noting it here.
