AIUI that would enable TLS v1.1, v1.2, and GCM cipher modes not
available in the current wheezy version?  These are highly desirable in
production for me.  FWIW the latter is specified by NSA Suite B.

The wheezy-pu's of Tor might be some precedent for keeping crypto
software up-to-date.

OTOH Heartbleed only affected those who'd upgraded already from openssl
0.9.8 -> 1.0.x, so one takes a risk either way?
