Well, you could have just asked :-) By the way, checking for vulnerabilities based on banners is probably not the best way to do it, unless you always run the pristine upstream version. The reason is that Debian patches lots of things. If you are interested in making sure your machine is secure, then your best bet is to go ahead and subscribe to debian-security-announce (and debian-security if you are that interested) and watch for DSAs (Debian Security Announcements) to come out.
