Package: mail-notification
Version: 5.4.dfsg.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #286672


It seems that different maintainers interpret this issue differently.
The FAQ of the openssl package follows the official interpretation of
upstream openssl. Several other packages link against libssl although
they are licensed under gpl (e.g. kcontrol, inkscape, balsa, ...).
I would like to have this issue clearified and to have a consistent
interpretation for all debian packages.

I think many packages are rather useless without ssl support (like
mail-notification). If there exists consens in debian, that gpl
programs can not be distributed with libssl linked, I think it must be
a high priority for debian to make openssl-compat a full drop-in
replacement for libssl.
