Please try to avoid such block, e.g. install libressl to a separate location. This is easier to do when introducing package to the tree, rather when facing large-scale blockers. Otherwise one day we will face nasty bug like mutual heimdal/mit-krb5 blocker[1], where foo will work only openssl, bar only with libressl and users will need both.
