Javier will maintain this package, I think, because he made a couple
of uploads to Incoming before (they were rejected). I have done some
work on it, too, but the upstream source has some errors, and Javier
couldn't compile it... later on I discovered that additional configure
options confuse the nessusd, and so I removed them - and now it works.
Yeah, it should go into the non-US archive (main part) because that
library contains Blowfish, IDEA and such code and that is IIRC restricted.
