So I've uploaded the patch.  But I have a question:
The header files depend on the arch, because some comptile time
options are stored in it.  I think they're all in opensslconf.h.

libssl-dev didn't get an Multi-Arch line in the control file,
so I assume they currently can't install it from different
arches currently.  Should I move the include files to
/usr/include/$triplet for that too?

Or do we currently not want to support installing multiple
-dev packages?
