While upgrading the Debian package for stunnel, I noticed that it installs a shared library into /usr/lib/libstunnel.so This is recommended against by Debian policy, because misguided users might end up linking against it. The following (minor) patch moves the library into /usr/lib/stunnel/ which is a better location for it.
