A fix is pending - see this email:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut.user/6727

However, I don't think that a new revision of the nut package is available yet.

Compiling from scratch shouldn't be too hard, as Arnaud has listed the exact ./configure command line earlier in that thread:

You can file a bug to remind Arnaud: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
