I made two packages:
w3af: which is w3af completed
w3af-console: which is only the CLI
In order to reduce the amount of code in the archive, w3af depends on 
w3af-console, which is the biggest and main package.

The worst problems have been related with third-part code. I had many problems 
with licenses. Many of them are fixed now. I needed to remove third-part code 
from the base tarball because:
a- they already are packages in debian
b- the wouldn't be part of the debian for some reason
You can found an explanation of each exclusion in 
extra/debian/mk_debian_directory.sh
OTOH, many external code was included. The license of each can be found in 
extras/debian/trunk/debian/copyright

I can't remember more issues. But I will be glad to answer if you have 
questions.

cheers, luciano
