Are you sure that would be wise?
    The OpenSMTPD 6.6.0 release notes say that they don't really test
    OpenSMTPD
    with OpenSSL. And it also lacks some features when built against
    OpenSSL.
I'm fine with deleting the package either way. I only uploaded it
initially to get a recent version of openstmd. If it's not deleted I
will probably orphan it.
I would personally stick with libressl for openstmd, for the same
reason nl6720 mentions.

Thanks both of you for your input, also upstream still recommends
LibreSSL and intends to move to libtls only at some point, so yes,
keeping LibreSSL seems the way to go.
