Hi Mike, unfortunately I have to reject your package. According to [1] "(...)TrueCrypt seems to be reserving the right to sue any licensee for copyright infringement, no matter whether they comply with the conditions of the license or not. Based on this, our counsel advised that above and beyond being non-free, software under this license is not safe to use. (...)" So as Veracrypt is basically licensed with the TrueCrypt license, I think it is better for Debian to not distribute such software, even in non-free. Thorsten
Thus closing this ITP and tagging as "won't fix". Unfortunately... Mike[1] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000276.html
