"The TrueCrypt License has not been officially approved by the Open
Source Initiative and is not considered "free" by several major Linux
distributions (Arch Linux,[54] Debian,[55] Ubuntu,[56] Fedora,[57]
openSUSE,[58] Gentoo[59]), mainly because of distribution and
copyright-liability reasons.[...]"

Please see the Wikipedia page, it has more relevant information.

This absence from major distributions means no updates, so I prefer to
just use the tools already in the operating system.
