Why tell him that?  What the hell is wrong with the version of openssl
from security.debian.org?  There are no known security vulnerabilities
there.

Advising somebody to install packages from *testing* to get security
updates is very unwise.  Doing so would prevent them from getting a new
version of the package in the event that it's updated by the security
team again.

noah
