In addition, because sharnd.c is licensed under the GPL without any
particular exception for linking to the non-free sha1.[ch], the
binaries are not distributable at all (even in non-free).

If this package is worth keeping in Debian, it shouldn't be rocket science
to use a GPL-compatible SHA-1 implementation, like the one in nettle;
but I'm not convinced it is, because /dev/urandom can already generate
random files.
