Please merge netcat-openbsd 1.218-2 from Debian unstable.

Updated changelog and diff against Debian unstable is attached below.

[Dave Jones (waveform)]

netcat-openbsd (1.218-2ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Move the netcat transitional package here and have it depend on the
      peferred netcat-openbsd implementation of netcat, not
      netcat-traditional.

The merge looks fine to me but I tried building the package and discovered it fails to build from source for Jammy. Have you successfully built it?

[Dave Jones (waveform)]

Yes, managed an sbuild of source and binary packages in a jammy chroot (build log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ySB3mm6xMG/) -- what was the build failure you encountered?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

This is the build failure I ran into:

15-Sflag... PASSED
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:34: execute_after_dh_auto_test] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/rules:23: binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build finished at 2021-12-02T17:51:21Z

However, I uploaded it to my ppa in Launchpad and it built fine so I'll go ahead and upload it.

I modified the debian/changelog so that this bug is referenced and gets closed by the janitor.
