Thx. tetex-bin is in now.

libnet-ssleay-perl does not build from source. There is a serious
bugreport pending.

The version of ssh in testing is the same as in stable and depends on
libssl09(4) . So we will not have openssl 0.9.6 until these bugs are
resolved? This is bad.

only sparc has an official build machine where one can compile his
packages. 
There is still no list of build machines for all architectures. So I
can not try to build the packages by hand to speed the process up.

stone-ssl, stunnel and w3m-ssl are all linked against libssl09(4,5). I
have filed bugreports against them.

Would that really help? That would mean having libssl094 (providing
libssl09) and libssl095 (because some packages are linked against
that) in oldlibs.
