You added:
Thus, if BR2_PACKAGE_NMAP_NCAT is selected, we have a redundant
dependency. But that doesn't hurt and it really simplifies things.
But that's is the opposite: the dependency *is* usefull when nmap's ncat
is enabled. So did you meant to write instead:
Thus, if BR2_PACKAGE_NMAP_NCAT is disabled, we have a useless
dependency. [...]
