just adding "-4" to the "ping-command" in debian/rules will solve this
problem but cause others.

<- snip ->
Depends: inetutils-ping (>= 2:1.9-1~) [kfreebsd-any hurd-any],
         iputils-ping [linux-any],
<- snap ->

inetutils-ping and older iputils-ping (when backporting) doesn't support
"ping -4". So this is something that has to be discovered at buildtime I
think.

Indeed, but ping.cfg is copied by ucf via maintainers script to
/etc/nagios-plugins/config/.

Cheers, Jan.
