  Description     : ARC (authenticated Received chain) milter

OpenARC is an open source library for adding Authenticated Received
Chain (ARC) support to applications and an example filter application
using the milter protocol.

ARC is an experimental protocol defined in RFC 8617. It provides an
authenticated chain of custody for a message, allowing message handlers
to see who has handled it before and what those prior handlers claim the
message's authentication status was at that point.

ARC is still experimental and its specification may change. This package
is intended for use by operators willing to take part in the experiment
and provide their feedback to the development team.

I’ll be working RSN on packaging this up for $dayjob, so I’d like to put
it into Debian proper to avoid work duplication and so more people have
something from the effort. I’ll need to make the packaging backport
cleanly to bookworm and trixie (but that should be no problem).

If possible, I’d like for someone else to (at least co‑)maintain this
though, as the users are coworkers, not myself. I can do the usual to
keep an eye on bugs and something and do occasional updates of course,
otherwise I’d not upload it, but if someone else wants to volunteer…

While the RFC still lists it as experimental, it’s from 2019, with
errata, but still. It could conceivably be included in a stable release
with post-release updates if needed for spec compliance later on, or
excluded from stable releases for now; I’ll leave that up to the (S)RM.
