It doesn't need libnl-devel since it's using libnl-3-dev. I think the
issue is rather that on wheezy netcf is linked against libnl1 instead of
libnl3 and therefore it's incorrectly falling back to libnl-1. So the
dependencies need only to be changed for the backport (see the
bpo/wheezy branch in git).
