Yes. This is Debian.

crypt++el was in nonUS in hamm, too. Yes, a Suggests would be apropriate.

Nope, I was only referring to the debian-cd package - the one you silently
removed from my cite...
Please tell me how debian-cd will produce slink cd's. Currently it can't
and since I don't see *any* action wrt this issue from its maintainer/author
I doubt that it will be able to create such images in the near future. We
have to face the true that currently we can't create slink cd images.
