debian-non-US archive
In the past, there was software packaged for Debian that could not be
distributed in the US (and other countries) due to restrictions on export
of cryptography or software patents. Debian maintained a special archive
called the non-US
archive.
These packages were incorporated into the main archive in Debian 3.1 and the debian-non-US archive is discontinued; it is actually archived now, incorporated into the archive.debian.org archives.
They are still available from the archive.debian.org machine. Available access methods are:
https://archive.debian.org/debian-non-US/
rsync://rsync.archive.debian.org/debian-non-US/
To use these packages with APT, the relevant sources.list entries are like:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-non-US/ woody/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-non-US/ woody/non-US main contrib non-free
