But I also do not really understand why so many packages need to be rebuild since libssl0.9.7 will be in the archive too. We had the same scheme with libssl0.9.6 and libssl0.9.7. Sarge released with some packages still linked against libssl0.9.6. Only the new to build packages link against the new library. I however understand the problem with different libraries linked against different versions of openssl. But I don't think that versioning the symbols in Debian alone would be such a good idea. Than we would be incompatible with other distributions. All LSB connected distros should do it the same way. Release team: If you think it would be the right thing to remove openssl 0.9.8 from sid, feel free to do it. I did the update, because a lot of people bugged me about the new version and upstream only recommends this version. It also closes a grave security bug.
