In the case of OpenSSL, there's nothing WRONG with 0.9.7, you can have 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 installed side-by-side, and packages linking to the old one aren't necessarily broken in any sense, so I didn't feel an overwhelming urge to do much of anything about it (though we did want to get only one supported version in main) That said, I oversaw a lot of the changes in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 transition in Debian, have a good clue about what API changes may bite some packages, and other such things, so I don't mind participating in this one anyway, just to "get it done". ...
