Not that I know of, but I have a converter to OVAL signatures that can generate the XML files from the website contents. But somebody has to adapt the OVAL agent to do Debian checks too. I think there is a need for them, as there is currently no way to have a Debian systems integrate in heterogeneus patch management systems without too glue. Tools like update-notifier and debsecan are nice, but for desktop users or administrators handling a few systems, not for enterprise deployments. Regards Javier
