You’re right: it does sound strange to have the "vendor" listed in the package description, eh? :-) I guess at the time I was mindful of the "mcrypt" package and its /usr/bin/crypt, which obviously predates "github.com/xordataexchange/crypt", and I was worried about the namespace conflict, and probably subconsciously trying too hard to distinguish the two, as well as the myriads of other "crypt" or "crypto" related packages. That’s likely how the strange phrase “"crypt" by XOR Data Exchange Inc.” slipped in. Anyhow, when I actually went to revise the package description in debian/control, I found a better, or at least lengthier and arguably more interesting description from http://xordataexchange.github.io/crypt/ starting with “Fess up”, so I ended up copying that, and the awkward “"crypt" by XOR Data Exchange Inc.” is now gone. :-) Cheers, Anthony
