I get the same type of errors in Lenny:

Warning: Found enabled inetd service: ident
Warning: Network TCP port 6667 is being used by
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.6-sun/bin/java. Possible rootkit: Possible rogue IRC bot
         Use the 'lsof -i' or 'netstat -an' command to check this.
Warning: Application 'gpg', version '1.4.9', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'openssl', version '0.9.8g', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'php', version '5.2.6', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.
Warning: Application 'sshd', version '5.1p1', is out of date, and
possibly a security risk.

The Java IRC service on 6667 is valid, I run a service there.
