It's an obvious +1 for this RPM dependency.

I wonder if we should also check at configure time for the version of nc 
in Debian which doesn't have the '-U' option?  Even though someone might 
compile on Debian but use the resulting client to connect to a Red Hat 
system ...  The original plan was to bundle a 'nc' replacement 
('libvirtd-cat') for people to run on the remote system.
