Advice for middleman Debian package



Hello,

two months back, I sent a mail to the main middleman author (CC'ed to
this list) because middleman software license (GPL) conflicts with
OpenSSL (Apache-style) [1], and so middleman can't be accepted into
Debian. I asked him if he could add an exception to the GPL which allows
linking with OpenSSL.

I still have no answers from upstream, but I have disabled linking with
OpenSSL (OpenSSL is needed for only one special middleman feature), and
so the package has been accepted into Debian unstable.

Somebody pointed me that maybe I should remove all OpenSSL related code
from the orig tarball. So, do you think this must be done ?

Regards,
