Because it would be wrong. When the library ABI changes, a new libsslx.y.z has to be created _in addition_ to the current libssl0.9.8. And the symlink should then point to the newer version. > IOW, why should a production server need to install -dev packages? Good question, but you should ask the OP why ewire (whatever that may be, I've never heard of it) needs that symlink.
