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. [...]

Yann E. MORIN.
