[request] Trucrypt, finally for Linux

Question

T r u e C r y p t
Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux
Main Features:
    * It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk.
    * It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB memory stick, floppy disk, etc.
    * Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
      1) Hidden volume (more information may be found here).
      2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
    * Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent (256-bit key), Triple DES, and Twofish (256-bit key). Supports cascading (e.g., AES-Twofish-Serpent).
    * Based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which was conceived in 1997.
      Further information regarding the features of the software may be found in the documentation.
If anyone would like to try and make a package it would be superb!

Yeah, I uploaded a little prematurely, I was still making some last minute changes. Didn't think anyone'd notice.
Turns out the debs are just alien-converted rpms, so I've used the rpms as sources. Once you install it, you need to run /opt/COMODO/post_setup.sh as root (this was something I forgot to add to the .install file, so if you already downloaded, makepkg'd and installed, you'll probably not know this).
I'm not sure about the license, all I've been able to find is the website T&Cs which states that Comodo products are subject to "Subscriber Agreements", which I can't find any information on. I haven't run the post_setup.sh script myself (I'm still looking through it), so perhaps the agreement is presented to you there.
If anyone can shed some light on the subject, that'd be helpful.
EDIT: Ah, I was looking at the wrong file. The agreement is in the post_setup.sh, at the top.
I think I'll need to knock up a service file too, there's only an sysvinit script..
EDIT EDIT: The license doesn't allow me to modify the post_setup.sh script to replace the initscript calls with the systemd equivalent, it probably doesn't let me remove the superfluous libraries either, so those lines will be commented out for the time being while I liaise with their legal department. The realtime protection kernel modules also don't build on Arch's default kernel (not sure about the -lts kernel), so that won't work without modifying files (which again, is not permitted by the license).
The .desktop files may not show up in any menus either, not sure if I made a mistake there or not.
You can still run on-demand scans for the time being (once you've updated the database). You should enable sgdagent.service cmdagent.service after running post_setup.sh, and sdgdaemon.service cmgdaemon.service after updating your virus database. Start the application with /opt/COMODO/cav if you don't have a menu icon for it in your menu.
