As Raphael said, the OVAL script generation code is broken but can be fixed.
I just either need spare time to be able to work on this and/or help from
a colleague maintainer to recover this.

For more information please see
https://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2011/10/msg00046.html

Please notice that the definitions pre-2010 are OK and can be used. The
problem is in the definitions after that time.

When will it be fixed? I really can't tell, I'm swamped with work (real life
and Debian-related) and some other issues are ahead in the priority queue.

We are still listed in the OVAL page [1] as an "OVAL content repository" but
we should really fix this.

Now, if there are people actively using OVAL in the field (and using the OVAL
language interpreter packaged in Debian [2]) it would be really great if they
stepped in and helped with this issue (and the bugs surrounding the
interpreter).
