The word_by_word_montgomery tool doesn't have to be packaged, instead it could be included in debian/local in this package and used during the build. Is this tool available from upstream, and are there instructions how to use it? Maybe it is not that hard. The resulting implementation looks interesting, and unless we resolve this, this will stall this package which seems bad. /Simon
