Bug#728504: libssl1.0.0: please disable RC4 by default

Package: openssl Version: 1.0.1e-4 Severity: wishlist RC4 is insecure. It has significant biases in its output, even if you drop the beginning of the keystream. It is considered insecure when used in WEP, in WPA, in TLS, and as a PRNG. Nobody should still be using it, certainly not by default.
