I suggest to mention the terms "penetration testing" and "security" in 
the long description, both to ease searching and to help those (like me) 
puzzled what "pentesters" mean (I honestly guessed it might have 
something to do with USB sticks, until I saw your comment at the end).

Perhaps additional terms could be mentioned too, to ease searching (try 
compare with related packages already in Debian, if any).
