Imminent release of 2.2.5 and 3.0.3

I just did a git clone of 3.0.3 onto an Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS system and
did these steps:

$ tar zxf freeradius-server-2.X.Y.tar.gz
$ cd freeradius-server-2.X.Y
$ fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
$ sudo dpkg -i ../*freeradius*_2.X.Y-*_*.deb

as documented at
http://wiki.freeradius.org/building/Build#Building-Debian-packages.

I ended up with a number of .deb files which I expected. During the
install phase I get an error saying that libssl1.0.0 is not new
enough, the actual message scrolled off too far to find again, but it
needs 1.0.1e-2+deb7u6 but has 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.12. Clearly this is more
fallout of Heartbleed and the version installed is supposedly fixed.
Why they distribution maintainers cannot just use the actual version
numbers is beyond me. 

So the question is, how do I change the version requirement for
Ubuntu? I am not very knowledgeable in the packaging stuff for Ubuntu
as I have usually just installed from source. In an effort to make
life easier I went with a distribution that would make it easy to keep
things updated (not working so well for me since they only have FR
2.1.10 which I have no intention of using).

I will be happy to supply a patch when/if I can get it working. It has
been a long time since I have done a lot with the project, but I have
been following the list. 

Thanks for all of the time and effort that goes into developing FR.
