Package: zip
Version: 3.0-13
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

A thing has happened; the upstream info-zip team had released a beta
version of info-zip that has support for AES-128 and AES-256 encrypted
zip files; however the upstream beta never gets any security fixes.

For that matter, the main upstream package doesn't get security fixes
either, which is why the version we have already says "by Debian".

Therefore I find myself in the unexpected place of having to request
a backport of the AES support code to Debian's zip 3.0 and unzip 6.0,
and ultimately I'd prefer for it to use the direct implementation of
AES rather than take a dependency on libressl; the upstream AES support
code should be usable with a manual merge.
