well, I didn't meant to take over ;-)
I just want to offer assistence :-)

I also hope that NessusClient is going to be 1.0.0 soon
(I just fixed a show-stopper bug. Now there are 3 bugs left in the
bug tracker of which one is minor and I need input for the two others).

AFAICT, yes. NessusClient has its own copy of the files needed from libness=
us.

Perhaps the package of nessusd should not contain it but only the
(old) nessus gtk client (package "nessus"). Then "nessus" and "nessusclient"
should conflict.

Another alternative is that NessusClient renames the script to "nessusclien=
t-mkcert".
Renaud: thats probably up to you to decide. What do you think?
