Just to clarify: Nessus 2 (actually 2.2.10) will still be available in
Debian 5.0 (lenny). So user's in need of Nessus can use the current
stable release.

I have asked for its removal in the *unstable* release. If removed, it
would not be included in the next Debian stable release (which might
not come for more or less year) nor in Debian's 'testing' branch.
