Which is the list from RHEL6, our =E2=80=9Cminimum viable OS release=E2=80=
=9D. The point of picking RHEL6 was exactly to avoid whack-a-mole. =
It=E2=80=99s perfectly clear from our decision to support RHEL6 and up, =
which versions of the packages we require.

It seems that Ubuntu12 is just confused, and does indeed have OpenSSL =
1.0.1, even though their library / package name is 1.0.0. So, we can =
continue to support Ubuntu12 it seems.

As for Debian 6, I don=E2=80=99t know if we=E2=80=99re doing something =
wrong there, but I can not get it to install anything newer than OpenSSL =
0.9.8 (and, we are in fact currently broken on the builds).

Yes, that needs to be updated.
