Well, update SSL before release. It doesn't make sense to ship old
garbage for a release if upstream support with patchlevel updates, as
OpenSSL do.

However you should ship the translation updates -- if and only if Ubuntu
maintain libssl properly, it is feasible to (a) change the support
addresses in fetchmail's documentation, (b) add the GPL-mandated notes
that the code was modified, and (c) take responsibility for support, and
then finally (d) relax the version checks in the source code.

This is normal integration work for a distro, nothing special. Just if
you break it, or the underlying SSL library, I will not support it if
you modified it to work on outdated OpenSSL, which is what 6.4.38
strives to prevent.

(Of course you can also keep older versions in and I will send people
with outdated versions away, if Ubuntu prefer that disservice to
maintainers and community.)
