Hi, I'm the maintainer for src:librabbitmq and the binary package librabbitmq1 is linked against libssl1.0.0 (OpenSSL). Now I was approached by Julien Kerihuel from the OpenChange project, who release their software under the terms of GPL-3, asking if I could provide an alternative to the OpenSSL-linked library so they can use it without causing a license conflict. Sadly librabbitmq only supports OpenSSL, there is rudimentary support for GnuTLS but it seems to be severely broken at the moment. Considering this, is it a good idea to provide a librabbitmq1-nossl binary package that was built without OpenSSL while still having librabbitmq1 with OpenSSL-support? I could not find another package that does this, so I assume that a similar situation did not yet occur (unlikely) or that there where arguments against providing such a package variant.
