a more up-to-date one from Debian's repositories

Ubuntu's OpenSSL was just as up to date, they just chose to keep the ABI. Which may have required disabling a feature or something like that. Like with the kernel, I wish distro vendors would take as hard of a "we don't break user space" mentality as possible.

Quote from WubTheCaptain
My consideration: Does "one size fit for all" in the end?

If it doesn't, complain to your distro for breaking ABI. :P

But seriously, the site is named after the packaging format not the distro. I state pretty clearly they're built for Ubuntu but will probably work since Debian is generally compatible (especially since I support Ubuntu releases for the full 5 years). I do what I can (static link, provide alternative packages) to support Debian where reasonable. But I'm not rebuilding binaries for each dist for the same reason I don't build rpms: I'm providing the binaries for the distro I personally use.

Obviously the Skulltag package isn't going to get updated and I'll probably remove it from the dist in April when 14.04 goes EOL.
