I think that at the moment I was looking at it, libsodium was not yet in
Debian. I opted to take libraries for Ed25519 and ChaCha-Poly1305 which
looked most convenient and just merged the code into tinc. The reasons I
used then might not be valid anymore now, but I don't see a good reason
to switch to an external library now. If there are arguments for it,
let me know.
