First off, crypto is important to us and I think we tend to feel that it is important for our users as well. Thus, I see libssl0.9.6 being made Priority: Important as a good option. If there are too many other issues with making libssl0.9.6 important (though it only Depends: on libc and isn't very big?) then I would think that we are very concerned about the size and would therefore recommend that ldap support be removed from exim or exim be split into exim-tiny for Important and exim-big with everything enabled. Of course, exim support being modified to be modular would be an excellent option but would require a decent amount of work I think. Not having any exim with support for mysql in Debian has been a problem in the past for Debian users that I know. Thanks, Stephen
