This may be true, but it is obviously distributable in binary form, as
there exists Mandrake, Redhat, and Debian packages for this software.  The
authors website says all you have to do is put together the package and
submit it to him for approval.  (See cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html for more
info).

Even if this were incredibily difficult, it doesn't explain the other 400+
packages that are missing from the binary dist.
