I am not sure but according to the package description mcrypt is deprecated:
Please note that this package is buggy and unmaintained by the upstream authors. If you can, please look for other implementations (openssl, gnutls, gnupg).
Therefore i don't think it is worthwhile to ship mcrypt.
I'm not set on using mcrypt; if there's a better way to do this, I'd be interested in that, too. I never store unencrypted data on portable devices (ever since I almost lost one), not even automated backups.
Use openssl/gnupg/gnutls.
But more generally, mcrypt/mdecrypt might come in handy in recovery situations, so it might make sense to include them anyway. Same goes for TrueCrypt, come to think of it.
Truecrypt can not be shipped with Grml as it has a propertary license.
