Just a quick note - my package althea has been moved back to main and the SSL
has been disabled. There is another package, althea-ssl, in non-US, linked
against SSL. So, if you must remove a package of mine, remove althea-ssl, not
althea. I would prefer, of course, to see some workable solution come out of
this thread. When the discussion is finished (or should I do this sooner?)
I'll notify upstream of this, since the problem is obviously relevant to them
too. Should I just ask them to add an exception for linking against OpenSSL?
