Thanks for the review, Bryce.

Yeah, the autopkgtest failures are happening because they're not running
against -proposed, which triggers a failure when trying to install
openssl3 into the testbed. I'm not expecting these tests to fail when
we run them with the right openssl trigger.

Yeah. I don't know when upstream plans to merge that PR, nor when they
intend to release a new 2.4.x version with the fix included, so I'm not
expecting us to be able to get this change through upstream and drop the
delta. We may need to revisit these patches when we merge apache2 and
check if upstream has fixed/changed something in them; I will leave a
message in the apache2 merge bug as a reminder.
