FWIW, I expect that this is a waste of time.  Packages in experimental don't
get any significant amount of testing, and if any packages are affected by
the ABI change, it's going to be lesser-used packages which are doing
relatively naughty things with OpenSSL structs.

So I highly recommend uploading this to unstable ASAP, since the only thing
that's likely to get you sensible feedback is a reasonable length of time
spent in unstable.
