This package is targeted towards universe for Oneiric, and may become more important next cycle due to emerging hardware that supports trusted boot. It's important to be in the archive for Oneiric to increase exposure.

The packaging has been achieved by upstream, and it's believed that their ongoing interest will mean that it is well supported during the Oneiric support cycle.

Thanks.
