Anyone here good with debian packaging?

Is there anyone who can help me get OpenSSL 1.1.0h (the latest non-beta version) working on Fremantle?

I can't use the packaging for the Debian 1.1.0h OpenSSL packaging since it needs a newer debhelper and newer dpkg than we have in Fremantle and upgrading those has a high risk of causing issues so I dont want to do it). Is there someone who can help me either adapt the Debian 1.1.0h packaging to Fremantle and its debhelper/dpkg version or who can help me produce new Debian packaging for the upstream 1.1.0h version on Fremantle? (we probably want whatever packages Debian adds on top of upstream though if we can)

Changing the compat file ? seems to contain the required version number.

Certainly worth a try, but I guess, jonwil would already have tried that.

Seeing the changelog [1], I would assume that using an older debhelper would break the current package or at least produce broken dependencies (which would have to be handled elsewhere):

* Add an override for lintian for the non-standard private directory

Maybe reverting the patch(es) responsible for that change might help.
btw., there's been another debhelper-related change from 2013, that might or might not have to be adressed:

Re: Anyone here good with debian packaging?

Here as a start the rules and control file for use with openssl 1.1.0h debian sid.

I don't know if all necessary changes are made I could not compile it because of perl.

Perl v5.10.0 required--this is only v5.8.4, stopped at ..

Re: Anyone here good with debian packaging?

I managed to come up with my own set of debian packaging that should work for 1.1.0h and I am also stuck on the Perl version issue.
