I guess I jumped the gun a bit, I already have a working package on SQLCipher 2.0.3 based on the sqlite3 package. Hopefully I didn't get duplicate work. Here is my package: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/sqlcipher.git Also, they are on this PPA if you want to try binaries: https://launchpad.net/~guardianproject/+archive/ppa/+packages
