Here's what my wheezy says:
apt-cache depends nmap
nmap
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libgcc1
  Depends: liblinear1
  Depends: liblua5.1-0
  Depends: libpcap0.8
  Depends: libpcre3
  Depends: libssl1.0.0
  Depends: libstdc++6
  Depends: python

    nmap
  Replaces: <ndiff:i386>
    nmap:i386
  Conflicts: nmap:i38

nmap is already installed here, so I can't check to see what would get
pulled in with it. Try it with --no-install-recommends and see if that's
any better.

-fsr
