That's almost what I meant. Upstream should recognize that in spite of
their strong statements about not _ever_ breaking ABI, their exposure of
openssl 1.1 structure has, indeed, broken ABI and they should be
responsible and admit it and bump SONAME. (This is all based on my
much-less-than-expert understanding of the discussion; my opinion might
be way off here.) If I'm right, though, this would make everyone happy;
all distributions would have libcurl5, our libcurl3/4 mix could stay as
is, and no Conflicts would be necessary.
