Oh. :-( Yes, at minimum I think I missed something.

I had heard that Qt5 didn't work with OpenSSL 1.1, I didn't realize Qt4
was also using OpenSSL 1.0. :-( I believe Mumble /does/ use Qt4's SSL
submodule, so I think it /is/ mixing OpenSSL versions right now. That's
not optimal but I haven't seen problems using the package nor gotten new
bug reports related to SSL issues thusfar.

If I had known Qt4 was still using OpenSSL 1.0 I would have hardcoded a
build-depends for mumble-1.2.x to use the same for the Stretch release.
*shrug* Can't win 'em all, I suppose.

Sort of.

Mumble 1.2.x won't build with Qt5, 1.3.x will, but 1.3.x is still in
development and after the painful experience of a snapshot being in the
Wheezy release, upstream (I think rightfully) asked me not to upload
snapshots. I've been wanting to upload a snapshot to Experimental for
testing purposes, but right now the 1.3.x source tarballs contain
unreleasable files that would require building a -dfsg tarball. These
files are normally stripped out by upstream for stable releases, but the
script that builds the release tarballs needs updating after a lot of
development/changes in mumble 1.3.x.

Given how much time there is before the freeze for Buster I have hopes
that this will all work out. right now it seems like things are in the
"hurry up and wait" category. ;-)
