I'm sure this isn't going to be pretty. I'm curious whether how this would not be pretty: just issue openssl-0.9.6[bc] as an update with new library version number, and release openssl095a package like how it's done with RHL7x. To make old apps work, one would have to install the legacy package, and for new ones, the updated one would be used.
