That is the behavior I expected, and that I desire, but as you can see the
openssl binary still has the old datestamp.

I suspect that the issue may have something to do with the fact that I have
not found the directions as to how to build a package with a custom package
name using the quilt mechanism, only the prior mechanism, which does not
work on this package, as it has bee updated to use the quilt mechanism.
Thus I wind up with a package with the exact same name,as the one
originally installed form the Ubuntu repositories.

I considered removing the original package, but this package is so core to
the OS, that I suspect I would break the machine doing that.

I also tried adding the --force-all option to the dpkg -i command.

Suggestions?
