Hello Dmitry,

Thank you very much for providing test commands and checking the 1.0
support.

We'll be uploading DPDK 18.02 to Debian experimental shortly after it
will release in a few days, and it will have the OpenSSL PMD enabled
there, so that it can be tested for a while.

Then, after Ubuntu 18.04 freezes and stops importing from unstable (too
late to add such new features now), we can enable it in sid and testing
as well.

Hope this sounds like a good plan for you.
