Is supporting Chinese cryptography standards a goal for Debian?
If it is then they should be available to all packages, but if it is not 
then I am not sure that having random (?) packages depend on an OpenSSL 
alternative would be a good strategy.

Do you expect that support for the Chinese algorithms will be merged in 
OpenSSL any time soon? Is there such a plan by the BabaSSL developers?
