Uh.... I'm not so sure about this. If you build a .deb that has crypto in
it, and then upload it to a non-US server (which you'll have to do), then
I believe that ITAR would consider that exporting crypto. (I ran into the
same issue when trying to merely sponsor tinc and some other non-US
packages.) After all, it's not writing crypto software that's illegal,
but the act of exporting.
Of course, the whole US crypto thing is ludicrous, but that's a different
story.
