Given that a much-improved nikto 2.0 is available I think this should
rather be removed than kept in Lenny if it's not updated. (It might
people give a false impression of the security state of their setup).
Since it's orphaned for nine months, do you agree with removing it?
If anyone wants to re-introduce a more recent release at a later
point, he/she can still base on the old packages from Sarge or Etch.
