  I write some information in README.Debian and add some definitions
examples to package.

  Removed from package

  terms.txt added to copyright file

  There i have question - which package name we use for this ITP? I
think that "oval" - bad idea, and currently rename package to ovaldi
(oval definition interpreter). Are you agree?

  Changed to /usr/share/ovaldi/xml

   There i need advice - i can't rewrite this phrase. All our
xml|xsd|x.. data stored in /usr/share/ovaldi/xml, but how i can refer
to this directory (similary to 'Interpreters dir')

  Added 'copy & paste' example.

  In progress.
