As you know all software in the main distribution of Debian GNU/Linux needs to be DFSG conforming. The rules may be found together with our Social Cotract at <URL:http://www.de.debian.org/social_contract.html> If it is DFSG conforming all you need is to find a maintainer to maintain the package or become a maintainer yourself. What kind of cryptocraphy is used? You should know that there is very restrictive law that doesn't permit to export several cryptographic outside of the U.S. If you use such routines the package cannot be included in the main distribution, instead it has to go into the special section non-US which is hosted on nonus.debian.org > If you are not the right person to ask to, I would > appreciate if you could point me to the right person.
