   We can co-maintain it, after all, I already provide the Nessus packages
   and would gladly provide OpenVAS packages too (or instead of).
 
  IMHO OpenVAS will indeed replace Nessus simply because it is
  not legal to dsitribute Nessus packages compiled with OpenSSL.

 How so? There is a OpenSSL exception to the Nessus GPL license for that.

I thought so too for a long time, but when preparing OpenVAS for release
I was made aware of my mistake. The OpenSSL Exception intentionally
is only given for the client, not(!) for the server. You will find the file
COPYING.OpenSSL only in the nessus/ directory of nessus-core.

 Have a OpenVas-client Debian package available? Note that I sent a while
 back Debian packages for nessusclient (see
 http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html) so it might be trivial to adapt the
 'debian' directory to make packages for OpenVAS-client and have them in
 Debian at the same time as the 0.9.0 release.

yes, that is a good point. NessusClient can be dropped anyway now
since there is only proprietory versions left. OpenVAS-Client ist the way
to go.
I will try my very best to support the Debian package, but I'd appreciate
any help as well!

Javier/Jan,

I'm more than happy to work on packing the client for Debian.  I already 
package arp-scan and sucrack for Debian.
