Hi,
maybe netcat should support ipv6 ("-6" option).
The latest official release on Sourceforge doesn't have it but Debian includes a patch to add it.

There is a more featured and maintained netcat implementation (ncat)
provided by the nmap package. It does support IPv6.

Debian doesn't seem to be using GNU netcat anymore; their control file
[0] mentions the home page to be [1], and the version is at 1.10, not
that this is very useful.
I wouldn't remove the package since it seems to be still functioning
despite seemingly abandoned.
