Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.1e-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man1/genrsa.1ssl.gz

Hi!

reading the manpage

       numbits
           the size of the private key to generate in bits. This must
           be the last option specified. The default is 512.

fortunately openssl does generate stronger keys (1024) by default so
the manpage needs update

Regards

    Christoph
