OpenVAS in 2016.1

[vold]

Steps for using OpenVAS in Kali 2:

1. Run "openvas initial setup" from the menu
2. Note the admin password
3. Run "openvas start" from the menu
4. Log in to Greenbone

Steps for using OpenVAS in Kali 2016.1:

1. Discover the openvas metapackage in apt
2. apt-get install openvas
3. Run "openvas ini..." from the menu (truncated)
4. Script hangs after "NVT... done" with 100% cpu
5. Kill the script the next day when it's still hung
6. Run the init script again, completes successfully but does not yield an admin password
7. Run one of the "openvas st..." menu items (you have to guess which one is start) (do I actually need to do this or maybe Greenbone does it automatically?)
8. Open a browser
9. Poke around the Internet for the Greenbone default URL
10. Presented with login dialog, don't know password
11. Google tells me how to resent the admin password
12. Reset the admin password
13. Log in

Has support for OpenVAS in Kali been intentionally reduced in 2016.1? (I'm not suggesting that all the problems I encountered were deliberately introduced just to spite me , but removing it from the default install was presumably done for a reason.)
