It was recently discussed on the Debian-Legal mailling list, and I have
a list of packages to check for OpenSSL-linkability. If they all pass,
and the licenses of the various chunks of FreeRADIUS can be changed
(which is a harder problem) we can then add an exception to the GPL to
allow linking aginst OpenSSL.

Alternatively, someone who has their head wrapped around SSL can convert
the various OpenSSL-users in FreeRADIUS to optionally use gnuTLS
instead, controlled by the configure.in system. I plan on doing this,
but I'm a bit of a TLS Barbie. ^_^

However, that change will only affect FreeRADIUS 1.1.0 or later, since
I don't want to be trying to mangle _two_ sets of autoconf scripts. In
the meantime, locally compiled FreeRADIUS packages with a build-depends
on libssl-dev instead of a build-conflicts will contain the appropriate
libraries without any other code changes. If you version it as <current
Debian version>.0.0.1, then it'll be safe from apt replacing it from
the archive, and if you put it on hold, then apt-get upgrade won't touch
it.

I try not to upload too frequently, and so you can take your time to
consider if you need to rebuild any new Debian revisions or just leave
the current version held.

Alternatively, you can build from the release_1_0 branch in CVS, which
will give you what will hopefully soon be 1.0.2, and I try and keep the
debian/ directory upstream the same as the one in Debian's archive, so
the packages should mesh fine.
