Probably not. Beside the crypto laws, there is also the DSFG that debian adheres to, and many of the encryption schemes have patents on them, thus makeing them non-free, and not in debian by default. If you're really hard core about security and encryption (and I'm going to be heretical here, but hey, I have to plug my home), try OpenBSD. Since it's main repository is in Canada, US crypto laws don't apply. I played with it a bit, but not enough to really get to know the advantages. Well, except for the ports. I wish GNU/Linux would have something like that. cd /ports/<program>. make. Automatic download, compilation, installation. No though required...
