Happily, perl-openssl-defaults made it into testing in time for stretch.

I intend to convert the affected pkg-perl packages to use it and file
bugs for the rest (if any) in the next few days.

Once those are done, perl-openssl-defalts can Break all the earlier
versions to make sure all the packages get upgraded together (although
that's not strictly necessary for the jessie -> stretch upgrade as noted
earlier on this bug.)
