Hi Ron!
FinalCrypt can't be included into Debian repositories. The CC license
you chose is not compatible with the requirements of Debian (you can see
a lit of acceptable licenses here: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses)
I can tell you don't want your software to be modified and hence why the
license chosen but Debian needs the ability to change software so it can
patch software in case of requirements. Not just that, we can't control
if software is being used commercially or not.
