Looking at Hardy package at:

+beecrypt for Debian
+-------------------
+
+beecrypt is a library that provides a variety of cryptographic algorithms.
+
+Important Notes
+---------------
+Please note that the upstream author returns message digests in network
+byte order. This is different than what OpenSSL does. I have to contact the
+upstream author to discuss this issue.
+
+Also note that his cipher algorithms can only operate on data buffers that
+are an integer number of 'blocksizes'. OpenSSL is able to operate on arbitrary
+sized buffers when running in CBC or ECB mode.
+
+Finally, please note that you MUST include <beecrypt/config.h> as your first
+beecrypt configuration file. Unfortunately, the author uses a non-standard way
+of defining type sizes in his package.
+
+Less Important Notes

So, enough info it there for maintainer to decide what to do.
Confirming the bug.
