Package: cpqarrayd
Version: 2.3-1

When packaging the newest upstream cpqarrayd release (2.3), lintian gave me 
a warning about this GPL'd package linking against openssl

W: cpqarrayd: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
N:
N:   This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on the
N:   OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or
N:   exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including
N:   version 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and
N:   therefore Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL
N:   libraries unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting
N:   this.
N:
N:   If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not
N:   linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian
N:   override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of
N:   distinguishing between that case and problematic packages.

This is caused by the snmptrap support linking against libcrypto. For now I 
have added "--disable-snmptrap" to the configure for the Debian package. I 
will forward this bug upstream to see how they would like to handle it.
