Package: www.debian.org Severity: important Hi, https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/sec-tools.en.html mentions "nessus" as being part of Debian (and actually even recommends it) despite nessus has been removed from Debian due to license issues back in 2009: https://bugs.debian.org/534501 Additionally this sentence should be removed completely from the same chapter as it's a topic of the past, not the future anymore: »This software, due to export restrictions in the US, was not distributed along with the main distribution but included only in non-US sites.« I've X-Debbugs-Cc'ed Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña as the author of the securing-debian-manual. By chance he was also the package maintainer of nessus and the one who requested its removal. Setting severity to important as this is kinda indirect DFSG violation. ;-)
