Note that this branch made a subtle change to the script's behavior;
when check-cves --import-missing-debian is invoked, it is invoked
without a uri(s) argument; this branch or the followup commit
59653e29fcc (check-cves: allow argparse to use default uri if unset,
2024-03-15) causes the mitre-allitems to be loaded by check-cves.

Now, in an ideal world, this would actually happen and the description
from the mitre index would be used if its available when presenting
CVEs debian's tracker has but UCT does not yet, because debian's
description is significantly truncated. But that's not how check-cves
is currently implemented.
