Although this solution would work in my current situation, it
doesn't scale well. At the moment, I run shorewall from testing and
a rebuild libssl. Pretty manageable when apt-get upgrade shows two
packages being held. But I feel it diminishes the beauty of the
Debian update/upgrade system.
What are your thoughts on "++ing" the version number before building
the package like someone else mentioned? Are there any risks
inherent to that solution?
