I've hacked something to check installed packages against the
vulnerability database.  It's similar to the tsck script, but should
handle all package annotations correctly.  Most of the logic is
server-side; debsecan downloads a compressed, release-specific
vulnerability list.

Currently, there's only a darcs repository.  Get it and test it:

  $ darcs get http://darcs.enyo.de/fw/debian/debsecan/debian debsecan
  $ python debsecan/src/debsecan --suite sid

(Or sarge or etch, as needed.)

Comments and suggestions are welcome.  This tool is still in a very
early stage, but I guess it's already pretty useful.
