Packaging it up would be illegal at this point, because the binary is
available to US citizens only, and export is prohibited. By packaging the
beta, and putting it on our site, debian could be accused of illegally
exporting PGP. Full pgp 5.0 linux source is promised to be made available in
September. Shortly thereafter, it will be exported, and packaging pgp for
non-us would be possible.
