[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#545670: Modifying wording

[Scott Schaefer]

Thanks for reporting this.  And I concede the wording is slightly ambiguous.

The code in question is in file apps/speed.c.  The patch is "trivial".  
See below.

However, changing it in Debian only seems to me to be a decision that is 
up to the official maintainer(s).  Since I expect they will not do so, I 
am going to tag this wontfix.

You can submit the patch (with you own desired wording, or course) to 
upstream via email to rt at openssl.org.
