Hi Otto, FTP masters changed their assessment on treating OpenSSL as a system library, see the FTP meeting log at http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-ftp/2020/debian-ftp.2020-03-13-20.02.html and the followup discussion at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/10/msg00165.html As such, you can switch to OpenSSL without needing to wait for OpenSSL 3.0 \o/ Cheers, Moritz
