Hi, could you please explain a little more on what was wrong with:
# 'check_nt' command definition
define command {
   command_name check_nt
   command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -v '$ARG1$'
}

The debian maintainer (Jan Wagner) had this to say:

I'm going to merge sid version 1.4.15-5, and it seems that the right
thing to do is to drop this change that we made here, unless we fully
understand what it fixes.
