[Bug 2067672] Re: [SRU] Openssl copyright/changelog.Debian.gz file points at non-existent location

[Steve Langasek]

+  * Fixed the symbolic links with libssl3t64. (LP: #2067672)

This is insufficiently clear as a changelog entry for an SRU.  I am
adjusting this to:

+  * Fixed the symbolic link target for the changelog and copyright
files. (LP: #2067672)

Otherwise, this is straightforward and I am sponsoring to the noble SRU
queue.

However, in terms of SRU policy, I don't think it makes sense for us to
release an SRU of openssl to all users' systems that changes only this.
Therefore I am tagging this bug 'block-proposed-noble' so that it will
not actually be released to noble-updates until there are further
changes to be landed.

  [ Impact ]
  
-  * In OEM projects, our customers need check every copyright of
- packages.
+ Due to the t64 transition, the changelog.Debian.gz and copyright
+ symlinks in various binary packages built from openssl source are
+ dangling symlinks, because /usr/share/doc/libssl3 no longer exists.
+ This gives users an error when trying to look at these files, and is an
+ impediment to inspecting the copyright status of the packages in an
+ installed system.
