If your crypto support means linking to openssl (or maybe gnutls), and it
does not implement any crypto of its own, you may actually have a chance, if
the rest of the crypto red-tape gets cleared fast enough for woody.
Otherwise, I would not bet on any measurable chance of getting a
crypto-enabled version of the package in main (instead of non-US/main) for
woody.
And you don't even have crypto-enabled packages in non-US/main (or somewhere
else) yet, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?! That means they have gone
through none, or very little testing at all. Trying to get them into woody
would be a Not Very Bright Idea(tm).
You, as a maintainer, want your package crypto-enabled, and in main for
woody? They you are already nearly out-of-time, get them in non-US and test
them, or something like that.
