I was going to send you a mail about this.  I'm sorry that I
didn't talk to you about it before I did this, but I felt it
important to get those security fixes out.

I don't plan to do an other upload until you had time to atleast
look at the at things.  But I would like to get this symbol
version patch uploaded during the weekend.

Mainly because I didn't have enough time to figure out how you're
using svn (with svn-buildpackage or something?)  It was easier to
just apply the patch.

Great, I didn't have time to look at it yet.

I do have 2 comment's about Steve's patch:
- It should use version OPENSSL_0.9.8 (and not OPENSSL_0_9_8)
- The shlibs should get bumped.  (In theory this shouldn't be a
  problem since 0.9.8 didn't make it to testing yet, and we have
  an RC bug preventing it.)
