I've talked to upstream about this. Apparently it will be a *lot* of work due to the API changes without a soname bump. As a result upstream are giving the required changes a very low priority. Please do *not* increase the priority of this bug. The correct thing to do here is to make the old and new versions of openssl coexist.
