While we are at it, would it make sense to leave the parsing as well to gather-package-list.nasl? That way, we wouldn't end up with a huge string in the KB that could be in any of the different formats (depending on the distribution) but with structured information about the packages in the KB. This would enable us to check for package versions etc. using the functions already available for the KB instead of writing dozens of new functions in NASL. I'm not sure how much work it would take, but IMHO it would be well worth the effort and make writing LSCs both easier and more efficient.
