Package: freedombox-setup
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Previously we were using some programs in net-tools, but they are no
longer needed:
- We now use NetworkManager to set up our network connections.
- The diagnostic tests to check open ports have been moved to Plinth,
and no longer use netstat.

net-tools is also considered obsolete by its Debian maintainer
(https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/12/msg00606.html).

I'm attaching a patch that drops the dependency on net-tools. I've done
basic testing of this patch, by building an image with freedom-maker and
accessing Plinth.
