Do we really have other packages in there for other reasons than the
cryptography laws? I couldn't find any. I think calling it "crypto"
makes a lot of sense. It's a clear label, and people will know how
to treat those packages in their country.
We'll have to find another place for packages that are patent-encumbered
in weird ways, if any show up. "non-free" will fit the bill in most
cases, I think.
