That is crap, if the package ever enter the archive, it will
automatically be declared to the US authorities, and thus be legal to
export. If anything, you could simply wait for the cryptokit to enter
the archive, do an NMU with the patch applied, and then have Sylvain
take the patch and send it upstream.
So you see, there is no change if you send the patch for direct
inclusion in the first package. And anyway, why are the US so arrogant
they think they have the right to limit patching of a package
originating from outside the US.
