In other words, this really has nothing to do with Twisted, and everything to do with the fact that Debian should not be screwing around with OpenSSL. Have they already forgotten what happened last time?
Isn't this an upstream change?
Hrm. I gleaned this from looking at some diffs to makefiles that were added to the debian package. My understanding was that the feature was disabled by default, though. Hardy, for example, already has a 'g' version of openssl as well, and the feature is not enabled there. My understanding is that upstream added the feature, but left it disabled by default, then debian turned it on in their build configuration.
OpenSSL CHANGES (...) This work was sponsored by Google. [Steve Henson]
That particular line was a little funny though.
I'll admit to lack of familiarity with OpenSSL, and this functionality in particular, so maybe I'm just confused.
Equally possible that I'm confused, though. I'm not 100% sure where the makefile that I'm loooking at diffs to came from.
