Re: need decision on packages with crypto hooks
Do we have any offers from outside of the U.S.? We're going to need a site
that can handle 200 users (and growing) and can contribute 4GB disk.
The system should have no users other than Debian, and the network
bandwidth should be high. Connectivity to the present maintainers (like
Guy Maor) has to be good. This is something like a $1000/month contribution.

This is the case, yes, but I was thinking of programs with cryptography
hooks, not cryptography programs themselves.

I would not be opposed to installing a cryptography symlink in the
distribution that would go to an empty directory with a README in US
sites, and could be filled on non-US sites by mirroring the cryptography
site. I _don't_ want to get into the situation where individual files have
to be filtered out of the archive on US sites and CDs, or symlinks directly
to files (rather than directories) have to be created.
