Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  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.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * list the openssl or libssl-dev to check if symbol link is valid.
     $ l -thal /usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/
     $ l -thal /usr/share/doc/openssl/
     $ file /usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/copyright
     $ file /usr/share/doc/openssl/copyright

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * It didn't affects any functions, just the symbol links are
  misssing.

  [ Other Info ]
   Currently it link to the old version libssl3, currently libssl3 is purely virtual.
