I use SoS extensively but I had never tried using the SB to encrypt them as
I use Levure. The Levure packaging library automatically encrypts script
only stacks for you during the packaging process. While Levure uses the SB
to create the standalone, encrypting the stacks is handled in the Levure
packaging library, not the SB.

I agree that the SB should handle this for you though.
