If the ABI is already different, there's no need for the library names
to exactly match what the Debian OpenSSL package has or what OpenBSD
uses? Actually I think you should avoid it, to avoid any confusion.
Perhaps use libssl-openbsd.so.26, libcrypto-openbsd.so.30 just like we
did in src:freebsd-libs? Or pick anything else that sounds better.
The "openssl" binary built by LibreSSL sources will also need to be
renamed, if they're to be co-installable. To "libressl" I presume?
AFAIK the command-line apps have not changed significantly (except
bugfixes) so could be a drop-in replacement someday (much easier than
switching libraries).
