MegaSync client requires libcrypto++9

So, I was trying to install the sync client for Mega (http://mega.nz) on my Ubuntu 15.10 install. Yes, I know it's pre-release, but here is my question:
When i install the .dep file, I get that

Errors were encountered while processing:

 megasync

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of megasync:

 megasync depends on libcrypto++9; however:

  Package libcrypto++9 is not installed.

When I then try to install libcrypto++9, I get the following error:

E: Package 'libcrypto++9' has no installation candidate

It then tells me that libcrypto++9v5 replaces it, but installing that doesn't satisfy MegaSync.

A quick Google search reveals that the v5 means "compiled using gcc5". Alas, the library is still the same. Why the new name, and how can I install my .deb file?
