-From: Benjamin Barenblat <bbaren@mit.edu>
-Subject: Remove Debian-irrelevant data from man page
-Forwarded: not-needed
-
-Remove references to cryptlib from the man page, as Debian builds this package
-using OpenSSL.
-
-Remove recommendation to statically link the binary, as this should’t be a
-decision the user has to make.
