I do this in the Debian packages, so that users don't have to do it 
manually (or using Smeg: http://www.realistanew.com/projects/smeg/)

does it mean that we can use the files you created and add them
to the NessusClient package?

2- The software is GPL, but links to OpenSSL, it should add an 
exception in the COPYING file something like:

done.

3- The COPYING file is out of date (uses the old FSF address, it 
should use the following address " 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, 
Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA"

done.

5.- The User Manual compilation and installation is not included into 
the main Makefile.

so far it was intentional.
Same is true for i18n.
Not sure whether to change it?

6.- It would be nice if the TeX file generated from LyX was 
distributed with the source package, that way packagers could use it 
to generate the ps/html versions. Notice that there is no way to 
"automatically" have LyX reconfigure itself from the command line (in 
order to retrieve TeX formats installed) so it is not easy to have 
that compiled automatically and distributed with binary packages 
(either with the client or as a separate 'nessusclient-doc' package)

hm, not sure whether I understand you here.
E.g. with "lyx -e latex users-manual.lyx" you can create
a latex file easily.

9.- The source is missing an 'AUTHORS' file to list the main authors 
of the code... I've reviewed all the (c) statements in the code and 
could provide a list of authors, if you want one.

Done.

BTW, it's rather nice that this client has i18n support. I'll try to 
get around and provide a Spanish translation for it if time permits.

note, that it is not the full automized routines like
the autotools usually provide.

I have Debian packages ready, still have to test them, though, but 
will send an e-mail to the list once they are (semi-ready)

I am looking forward to them ... :-)

Best
