Can netatalk be moved to Multiverse, or another version of it with SSL be put in Multiverse? Here's my logic - the reason you would want Netatalk is primarily to run a file server in a heterogeneous network environment with Mac clients. But, Macs of any recent vintage won't connect to an AFP server without SSL. So, the whole package is not usable for its primary purpose without the SSL. The license issue is less serious than with other highly useful packages, like dvdcss, LAME, the nVidia and ATI video card drivers, etc. So wouldn't just compiling it with SSL and moving it to Multiverse or some such be ok?
