python ssl module sets "debug" flag on SSL struct

[Evan Broder]

Binary package hint: python2.6

Taken from the upstream Python bug:

  The ssl module sets a "debug" flag on the OpenSSL SSL struct at the end of PySSL_SSLdo_handshake():

      self->ssl->debug = 1;

  The OpenSSL header files have this to say about this flag:

          /* set this flag to 1 and a sleep(1) is put into all SSL_read()
           * and SSL_write() calls, good for nbio debuging :-) */
          int debug;

In addition to fixing this in Maverick, this seems like a substantial enough performance impact and a trivial enough fix to be worth backporting as an SRU.

Here is the hilariously simple patch to Python 2.6. It backports trivially; I'll work on debdiffs in a moment.
