Then make it use OpenSSL. If there's anything exciting in BabaSSL, they
should submit it for inclusion in OpenSSL. We should aim for fewer
crypto libraries in our stable releases, not more.

Or if the goal is rather to experiment and expose BabaSSL to the many archs
we have in Debian, then keep it in unstable only by filing a bug to block
it from testing.
