Short description: Disk encryption utility (successor to TrueCrypt)
Long description:
VeraCrypt provides on-the-fly disk encryption for file containers,
partitions, and full system drives. It is an actively maintained fork
and successor to TrueCrypt, improving security and addressing known
vulnerabilities.
This is a request for packaging VeraCrypt in Debian. Upstream provides
source code and binary installers; the Debian package should build from
source and provide both CLI and GUI components (veracrypt,
veracrypt-gui), along with any required helper utilities.
Packaging should account for integration with FUSE, potential systemd
services, and secure boot or kernel module considerations where
applicable.

Known or expected build dependencies (to be verified):
- debhelper (>= 12)
- cmake
- pkg-config
- libfuse-dev
- libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev (or libwxgtk-webview-cpp-dev, depending on GUI
requirements)
- libssl-dev
- libgcrypt20-dev (if applicable)
- zlib1g-dev
- libblkid-dev
- libpam0g-dev (if PAM support is enabled)
- libsystemd-dev (if systemd integration is used)
Suggested binary packages:
- veracrypt: command-line tool and core functionality
- veracrypt-gui: graphical frontend (depends on veracrypt)
Rationale:
VeraCrypt is widely used and actively maintained, providing strong disk
encryption and compatibility with existing TrueCrypt volumes. Including
it in Debian would offer users a trusted, auditable, and easily
maintainable distribution channel.
