Openssl's README.Debian contains:
Some algorithms used in the library are covered by patents.  As
a result, the following algorithms in libcrypto have been disabled:
- RC5
- MDC2
- IDEA

(See bug #65368)

As far as I understand, they have been disabled because at that time,
it seems we only cared about using those, not about distributing them.
