** Description changed:

  When run with the CPU/RAM constraints in the autopkgtest cloud, this
  test currently fails more often than not [0]. Curiously if we switch to
  using the NMAP netcat implementation the test passes more often than
  not.
  
  An overnight experience provides these statistics:
  nmap-netcat 57/62 PASS
  openbsd-netcat 3/62 PASS
  
  The upstream developers appear to be using the NMAP netcat
  implementation more often than the OpenBSD netcat implementation, and
  for the OVN package the NMAP implementation is required [1].
  
  The curious thing is that when the test is ran with more available
  resources it passes, so it may also be we are near some resource limit
  and a that this change alleviates the situation somewhat randomly.
  However, the fact that upstream develop the tests using the NMAP netcat
  implementation does shift the scale towards using that implementation in
  our test runs.
  
+ Regardless of which netcat implementation used the test does however
+ also remain flaky when colocated with noisy neighbors, so we may want to
+ also disable the test until its implementation can be improved.
