Technically, you aren't forced to run debsecan on the host that's
being analyzed.  You can copy /var/lib/dpkg/status and run debsecan on
it on another box.  But I don't think anyone is doing it in some form
of automated process, and there are likely a few debsecan features
which would have to be implemented before this becomes feasible.
