Current 'stable' versions of nessus (1.2.7) are being maintained in the 'unstable' tree for Debian. None of the 1.2+ iterations have been moved to 'testing' or 'stable' for some reason.That's because of the glibc migration. If people are interested in nessus packages compiled for stable (Debian 3.0) I can provide both 1.2.7 and 1.3.1 versions somewhere (maybe at people.debian.org?)
In any case, more information on how nessus is proceeding in Debian available here:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nessus-core.html
You'll see also that it has been compiled across all 11 architectures supported by Debian (see http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=nessus-core). Which is kind of good since this means that as soon as the glibc transition is done nessus will get into 'testing' (along with quite a lot of software on hold right now)
Just FYI
