Software is not excluded from Debian by whether the user can perform
illegal acts. If it were, none of the software for copying, modifying
or distributing data (in other words, the majority of the software)
would be in Debian.

You can't avoid being sued; anyone can sue you for any reason. You
*can* try to "keep your nose clean", so that you increase your chances
of a successful defense, but under current copyright regimes this
becomes increasingly difficult. Also, it doesn't in any way ensure
that you will not run out of money first.

Software is included in Debian ultimately at the decision of the
FTP-masters. The convention seems to be that actively-pursued legal
threats are heeded, and latent threats are a matter of debate.

This is much more likely to keep it out of Debian. But don't let that
stop you sibmitting it anyway.
