  Thanks. Yes, i have some confuse  with this. I remeber that we decide to
name class DPKGInfoProbe, therefore i start from dpkg-* packages. Now i see
on libapt-pkg packages, but all documentation about it dates 2003 year,
maybe exist some other place?

  Then on this stage we can select two methods:
- download prepared OVAL definitions by http from some server
- generade our own local copy with help of parser from emails sented to
debian-security-announce and storage localy
  This is good?

Note that I said, it would be nice, if it's not possible to fit them in the

  Yes, i create wiki page and global TODO file in repository for all kind of
such ideas. And if i have free time on end of the SOC i can start implement
something from list.
  And maybe after SOC, but now i can't promise anything.
