Description Michał Górny archtester

Since this is super-high profile package, it needs to remove the dependency on dev-python/cryptography since the latter can no longer provide support for half of the keywords ca-certificates have.  This package will be a major blocker for security cleanup of cryptography when another vulnerability is found.
