Since no-one has stepped up to do the maintenance, I'm orphaning this
package.

I've uploaded a new upstream version that also includes a number of
other changes and cleanups. With this, the package should be in
reasonable shape. However, since I'm not an active user of wapiti, I
don't think I can be a proper maintainer.

The package source is currently maintained in the Python Applications
Packaging Team Svn repository (see Vcs headers).

The package description is:
 Wapiti allows you to audit the security of your web applications.
 It performs "black-box" scans, i.e. it does not study the source code
 of the application but will scan the web pages of the deployed web
 applications, looking for scripts and forms where it can inject data.
 Once it gets this list, Wapiti acts like a fuzzer, injecting payloads
 to see if a script is vulnerable.
 .
 Wapiti can detect the following vulnerabilities:
  - file handling errors (local and remote include/require, fopen,
    readfile...)
  - database injection (PHP/JSP/ASP SQL Injections and XPath Injections)
  - XSS (Cross Site Scripting) injection
  - LDAP injection
  - command execution detection (eval(), system(), passtru()...)
  - CRLF injection (HTTP response splitting, session fixation...)

Thanks,
