Henrique,

Why are you telling maintainers that you are going to NMU for the openssl
transition?  Such NMUs have not been discussed with either the release team
or the QA team, and they would be disruptive of the release team's efforts
to complete the C++ ABI transition for KDE and related libraries -- of which
there are about a dozen tied in that do *not* come from KDE, and net-snmp is
one of them.  The openssl transition is not a priority compared to the C++
ABI transition, and uploads like the net-snmp 5.2.1.2-4 upload that your bug
prompted will delay the C++ transition without helping the openssl
transition.  (net-snmp will have to be rebuilt anyway once libssl0.9.8
provides versioned symbols.)

Please refrain from bug reports or NMUs for the openssl transition without
first discussing the specific case with the release team.

Jochen, if you weren't already aware, the libsnmp9 transition is tangled up
with the KDE transition because php4 and php5 depend on both; so if you
could also hold off on further net-snmp uploads except for RC bugfixes until
libsnmp9 makes it into testing, that would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
