installed without explicitly specifying an install dependency, and just
happen to work because net-tools is pulled in by other deps. The BRs
should be fixed as part of this change, or there may be unexpected
breakage.
That doesn't make sense.
There is only net-tools on a system if a requires/recommends pulls it in or a user installs it.
The presence of net-tools in a BR will not cause it to be an R for any install situations ...
If I have missed anything you're aware of that requires net-tools please add it to the tracking bug :)
