[ale] sources.list changes for Debian Etch?

[James Sumners]

"Prior to the release of Debian 3.1, United States laws placed
restrictions on the export of certain defense articles, which,
unfortunately, included some types of cryptographic software. PGP and
SSH, among others, fell into this category. It was legal however, to
import such software into the US.

To prevent anyone from taking unnecessary legal risks, some Debian
packages were only available from a site in Leiden, The Netherlands,
until the release of Debian 3.1, which incorporates this software
thanks to changes in United States law. You should not need the non-US
archive unless you are using a version of Debian from before Debian
3.1."

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
