Thanks.

Looks like Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib::addsubstvar no longer strips
newlines from substvar values. I think it regressed with debhelper 13.7,
probably

  
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/commit/99892be481c1dd06d9866854a2c14e6a70ae12b7

That said, I think this should be fixed in perl-openssl-defaults by not
putting the newline there in the first place.

Copying Niels; you might want to restore the newline handling if there
are other affected addsubstvar users. If not, I wonder if debhelper
should Break perl-openssl-defaults (<= 5) once we have fixed this.
