openvas-manager Build-Depends on flawfinder. I tried to figure out why
and found that its source code only mentions this tools in comments. It
doesn't occur in a build log either. And when building openvas-manager
without this dependency, you the same package (up to build path
differences) as when building with it (thanks to reproducible builds). I
conclude that this dependency is unused.  The dependency happens to be
unsatisfiable for cross building. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
