I'll file a request for SSL disabled versions of these packages with
their maintainers as a last resort if you guys aren't willing to
obtain an exclusion clause. For now, I'll have await findings from
debian-legal.

netsnipe@espresso:~% apt-cache show libesmtp5 | grep Depends:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libssl0.9.6

I'm really sorry to have to drag this list through this licensing
mess, but my hands are tied by debian-policy and conventions as
adopted by debian-legal. All I'm doing is trying to get Balsa 2 into
Debian unstable, and until there is a resolution to this issue, no
ftpmaster will permit Balsa to be uploaded to our mirrors.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
