Thank you, Christian, your information helped, and I was able to generate a Windows authentication package (still no icon for Debian, though).
I ran the "openvas-check-setup" script (again), and this time noted that it suggested I install "rpm", which I did. (Just below that, it said: "OK: nsis found, LSC credential package generation for Microsoft Windows targets is likely to work."... possibly, but obviously not) . I looked at the documentation for which you sent a link, and it appears to be aimed at "roll your own" readers, whereas I installed Kali from their image. It was supposed to "include" OpenVAS, but didn't so I installed via apt-get. The documentation to which I was referring was that in the application itself, and some at docs.greenbone.net. Nevertheless, the lines you highlighted helped, as they showed I needed to install rpm (which I just did), fakeroot (was already installed), and alien. Once I had all three, I was able to generate a non-empty Windows package (which I have yet to test). Danke schön!
