The license exemption for OpenSSL has to be done by the copyright holder. As Debian holds copyright on hardly any of the software there's not much Debian can do except help persuade upstream to add an exemption.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I'm confused. In the netatalk README.Debian it says that the Debian project has decided that OpenSSL is GPL-incompatible and therefore he can't distribute the ssl-based portions of netatalk (like encrypted authentication with classic macs). I was pretty sure that debian had worked something out for linking OpenSSL with debian package. Was it only for specific packages? Is this developer just not aware of the accommodation? Am I totally out to lunch on what's going on with this? Please let me know, Thanks, Daniel - -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
