I went ahead and uploaded to debian without openssl, stripping out the windows binaries from the source tarball. At least this fork will be in Debian (and Ubuntu) now, but until an ssl exception is added to the licence it'll be without ssl support.

I am attempting to create a test package for Debian with the intent of switching upstream sources from Mr Sidorovs project to this one. There are a couple of things I would love to have changed before I make the switch.
The software is licenced under GPL without OpenSSL exception but is linking against OpenSSL. This seems to be a violation of the GPL and an updated package is likely to be refused in Debian without removing the SSL-support. Would you be willing to re licence with OpenSSL exception or consider switching to a free-er library? Mr Sidorov has previously commented on this issue in this bug: https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui/issues/369 More information: https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html Debian's stand on the issue: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/10/msg00113.html Error message from lintian:
Another minor problem I have is that the source package is shipping binary files in setup/win/openssl. This is the error message from Debian's lintian tool:
Also, fyi lintian also gives this minor informational alert:
