Package: debsecan Version: 0.4.14 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
if debsecan reads the config file before it checks the validity of the
options, the suite option must not be set at command line, but its value
is read from the config file. This way I can add the option --only-fixed
to the call in the cron script, without the need to set the option
--suite.
