Hmm. I think you'll find several other things are broken in the same way -
the crypto collection has effectively become mandatory thesedays. For
example, ppp and pppd both link against libcrypto as well, and I can't
think of an easy way to make the same binary work correctly with and
without libcrypto. Either we make a binary which doesn't require
libcrypto, in which case there's no way for someone to obtain the full
functionality from a binary install, or we make one which does and
people have to install the crypto collection to use it.
It's a different matter if you compile from source yourself, but with a
binary distribution you only have one possible set of binaries and can't
mix and match dependencies.
IMO (and I suggested this the other day), we should make the crypto
collection mandatory, and have sysinstall ask a question about whether to
point the libcrypt symlinks at libscrypt or libdescrypt (libdescrypt is
the only real reason people wouldn't want to install the crypto
collection).
