This package provides nmap [0].

The nmap source distribution comes with a bunch of its dependencies
bundled. This package deletes most of them and replaces them with
external libraries.

This package currently uses the bundled copies of liblinear and libdnet.
Liblinear should be packaged separately [1], but I think that the
bundled libdnet should be used, because apparently this bundled version
is modified [2] enough that Debian has chosen to use it [3].

[1] This is a not-working WIP on my end. Liblinear doesn't really have a
build system, so distributions must roll their own :( In my opinion, if
Nmap did not bundle liblinear, they would have upstreamed a build system
by now. An example of why not to bundle...
