Nice! It would be useful if you would take a look at various Debian packages
that implement some kind of encryption and start making noise if you find
things that are obviously insecure (Caesar ciphers, hiding data with XOR,
or whatever usual mistakes people do). I don't think anyone has done that,
at least systematically, so it would be appreciated.
