Hi!

This package has a dependency on telnet (which denotes either a specific
implementation or in the future the default one), and on the generic
telnet-client, which denotes any implementation. In addition to a list
of specific implementations, which seems redundant.

You could change that to simply: telnet | telnet-client | putty.

This was prompted while evaluating how to switch the current telnet
implementation in Debian, which is now in progress, although this is
not a blocker, as inetutils will provide telnet (and already provides
telnet-client, the same as telnet-ssl).

Thanks,
Guillem
