Package: ftp.debian.org

Hello FTP Team,

Hereby I request removal of the shc package from the archive. The package is 
well maintained, but it always has an inherit problem in its main function to 
encrypt shell scripts as decribed in #327263 (generally it passes the scripts 
back to sh -c which could be easily stolen from /proc/pid/cmdline of 
course ;-). I have knew about that for years, but have kept it around because 
I knew of couple of users who were merely experimenting with it. As time 
passed I'm more inclined to think that it is better not to leave false 
impression to the mere users who are not familiar with how the package works. 
I'm the only package maintainer of it and I already requested its removal 
from lenny for same reasons.
