Package: harden-remoteaudit
Version: 0.1.38
Tags: important

Harden-remoteaudit currently depends on the packages for the OpenVAS2 scanner
(openvas-server). This package is being replaces by openvas-scanner, which
is the new name of this package since the OpenVAS 3 release.

This dependency prevents the package from being removed from Wheezy something
which, as its maintainer, I would like to do. This is because support for
OpenVAS 2 was discontinued last year [1] and providing
OpenVAS 2 to our Debian 'stable' users in our upcoming release is not
really a good idea.

Since harden-remoteaudit does not Depend: on any other package, an
alternative to make it possible to remove the openvas-server package from
Wheezy would be to change the Depends: into a Suggests: and, in addition,
change it from 'openvas-server' to 'openvas-scanner | openvas-server'.

Once the openvas-scanner is moved from experimental to unstable you could, if
desired, change the Suggests: back into a Depends: 

Thanks for your co-operation,

Javier
