Debian still make the distinction (though a lawyer is being consulted
imminently, I hear).  We don't have the inclination to go through all
the lawyering ourselves at this point, so we decided to not ship non-us
packages on the CD.  There's nothing to stop anyone accessing the debian
non-us archive, where you will find ssh, ircii, krb5, lynx-ssl, apache-ssl,
gnupg, postgres and many other good things.
