See VI./4 in http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license:

4. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, You may allow a third 
party to use Your copy of This Product (or a copy that you make and distribute, 
or Your Product, or respective parts thereof) provided that the third party 
overtly accepts and agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions of this 
License and the third party is not prohibited from using This Product (or 
portions thereof) by this License (see, e.g., Section VI.7) or by applicable

self-extracting package (containing This Product) that does not allow the user 
to install (nor extract) the files contained in the package until he or she 
accepts and agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions of this License.

-> No chance for us to ship Truecrypt with the current license. :-/

Since 2008-07-08 TrueCrypt 6.0a is available. Even if "TrueCrypt License 
Version 2.5" might be fine for us there seem to be packaging issues left. 
Either someone is investigating on this or we won't be able to ship truecrypt 
with the upcoming grml release.

"TrueCrypt Collective License Version 1.4" -- see http://www.truecrypt.org/
downloads2.php

I'm absolutely not happy with that situation, we have to check that before 
providing, shipping and releasing a new truecrypt Debian package.
