Maybe, but it's better to stick with the latest upstream, specially since 
this package has been only introduced in Debian recently and is only being 
used by a small user set.

I don't believe so. The changes between 1.1 and 1.2 are either 
documentation changes or changes in the script 'oinkmaster.pl' itself. 
Backporting the changes to make the configuration file compatible would 
mean effectively backporting the script itself.

Err, actually the changes to nessus-core didn't. For some reason I missed 
those, they are not critical bugs (one is a documentation fix, the other is 
just a bugging message which is not correct but doesn't impair 
nessus-mkcert-client) but I have fixed them and uploaded a new version. 
Well, let's see how this one makes it, if I don't see any bugfix related to 
it in a week I will ask again for it to be moved into testing.

Thanks for pointing that out
