Moses, we've already released updates for the March 2016 roundup of
issues from OpenSSL http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2914-1/ . We do not
ship point updates from OpenSSL for security updates because they
sometimes break ABI or introduce other regressions (see e.g.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576128 ).

Note that since we've disabled SSLv2 for years DROWN did not apply to
our packages, but of course the other issues did.

If you wish to prepare a debdiff that removes the -ssl2 options from
manpages and so on we'd consider including it in future updates. It's
not a high priority for us so we're unlikely to get to it.

Thanks

** Bug watch added: Gentoo Bugzilla #576128
