I don't want to get embroiled in any Debian politics, but I will say, on behalf of the Nmap Project, that we'd love to see Debian include a modern version of Nmap. Version 5.21 is more than 2 years, and 10 releases, behind the current version. In our CHANGELOG (http://nmap.org/changelog.html), the first 3,138 lines describe improvements and bug fixes we've made since 5.21. We're actually hoping to release a new "stable" version of Nmap within the next couple weeks. It will be extremely similar to Nmap 5.61TEST5, which can be obtained from http://nmap.org/download.html. So if someone at Debian can make a 5.61TEST5 package, you will be ready to package the upcoming Nmap stable just as soon as it comes out. Debian could even be the first distro to do so! > PS: In case you did not pay attention, there's also a security bug to fix > in this source package (see #663217). I'll take a look at that too.
