Bug#1023151: xapps-common: Recommends unneeded gist instead of netcat

Dear maintainers,

nothing in xapps-common needs gist to be installed. But the Python script /usr/share/xapps-common/bin/pastebin needs netcat to be installed instead. So could you please replace gist by netcat in debian/control.
Thanks for report, you right, upstream removed gist usage in 1.2.2 (https://github.com/linuxmint/xapp/commit/f40a5376554c2675ec9ed1e4c45d30329a8a4c32) and added use of netcat but in debian package was missed, I'll fix it in next build.

Moreover, if there is a reason for putting the executable binaries in /usr/share/xapps-common/bin/ instead of /usr/bin/ (which is what upstream does), then you should also adapt the path in upload-system-info (line 7) from '/usr/bin/pastebin' to '/usr/share/xapps-common/bin/pastebin'.
I'll fix it in next build. Commit description (https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/xapp/-/commit/d68e7a9e9948e0b19505b82578641823fa1088e1) don't specify but I suppose was moved to avoid conflict to other possible similar script/binary (even if no other package in official repo have it for now) and I think is better keep it

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle
