Package: ccrypt
Version: 1.7-11
Severity: wishlist

Once jka-compr-ccrypt is loaded, the built-in emacs support for editing (or 
using 'info', etc) compressed files is broken:

$ emacs --batch -Q --eval '(load-library "jka-compr-ccrypt")' 
/usr/share/doc/ccrypt/NEWS.gz
Loading jka-compr-ccrypt...
(gzip -c -q -d) NEWS.gz...
Wrong type argument: integerp, "gzip"

There is an upstream bug report about this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1538826&group_id=40913&atid=429289

In that thread, the author provides an alternative elisp library (ps-ccrypt.el) 
that decrypts only, not interfering with the decompressing emacs library 
jka-compr.

I propose to also include ps-ccrypt.el in the package and to mention it in 
README.Debian. I think it is more convenient than the current workaround, 
vaguely described in the upstream doc and in 50ccrypt.el, consisting of 
unloading the emacs built-in library.
