There are no tests, but I manually confirmed I could split and then combine shares. There is a warning about RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, because ssss tries to memory lock for security reasons, but I assumed that that was system-dependent and not something I should mess with in the package definition.

I added a copyright line for you (let me know if I got it wrong) and
applied it.  Thanks!
