Bug Description
TrueCrypt is an extremely useful tool for any security conscious Ubuntu User. It allows you to create an extremely secure "virtual drive" where you can store important documents with a much lower risk of them being read by malicious attackers. It should be included in Ubuntu because it will greatly improve security, which means a higher reputation for the distribution.

Licensing: Program released under "Truecrypt License", non OSI, and the different crypto-algorithm implementations are licensed differently. So far this is the biggest problem packaging this.

Problems with packaging truecrypt I encountered a few months ago:
- It has all sorts of licenses on it, and it seems like some of them are not compatible
- The kernel module is a mess, and not properly implemented
