Bug#454238: lintian: warning if gpl code links against ssl



Package: lintian
Severity: minor

Hi

yet another nice check, that should issue a warning:

If something has a dependency against libssl* *and* has GPL in its
copyright file, issue a warning, if you can not also find one of the two
words "exception" or "exemption". That hits about 99% of those cases, as
those two words are in the "add this exception text if you want to do
the ssl linking" FAQs out there.
