This package is known as "aesutil" upstream and in other distros. There is already a completely different open source software known as aescrypt at http://www.aescrypt.com.
Go for it, Chris - or does the crypto team take care?
I don't understand what we talking about here... Do you want to add a new package, or modify the name?
Both would be nice; the aescrypt.com package has checksum functionality and looks like it has better cross platform support with windows explorer integration etc. But for the moment just renaming the existing package would be good.
qa: I don't believe this is important enough to change existing... Any thoughts?
app-www: "aesutil is a command line program to encrypt and decrypt data (...)" Imho, it's fairly important to match upstream names so the package is easier to find for users.
Done. Thanks!
