Title:
  Please remove gnome-nettool from ubuntu-desktop

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I don't think we should include gnome-nettool in the default Ubuntu
  install. The interface is fairly complicated and is not something most
  people use.

  As of a couple days ago, gnome-nettool pulls in finger and nmap to the
  Ubuntu desktop image. gnome-nettool is also responsible for pulling in
  whois (which for some weird reason includes the binary mkpasswd).
  whois is very handy for checking websites, but I don't know whether it
  should or not be included by default.
