Package: kmod
Version: 26-1
Severity: serious
All of the GPL-2+ licensed executables contained in the kmod binary
package link to libcrypto even though they do not have any OpenSSL
license exception. ftp-master considers this a serious issue. So please
remove this optional dependency or ask upstream for a license exception.

OpenSSL is considered a system library (GPL: "major component of the
operating system") in Debian as of
http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-ftp/2020/debian-ftp.2020-03-13-20.02.html
With that, the exception for system libraries can be invoked and a
GPL-licensed program may link with OpenSSL without an additional exception.
