I can confirm this bug. After running:

DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg -D777 --configure openvas-server

output:

It seems the debconf file /var/cache/debconf/config.dat lists openvas-server/certificate as the key, while the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/openvas-server.config expects it to be openvasd/certificate. Changing the script file and rebuilding the .deb file fixed the problem for me.
