Any source that builds udebs is always frozen (openssl builds
libcrypto0.9.8-udeb). Udebs have to be moved into testing manualy and
without the freeze the source+deb and udeb versions would drift apart.
Another reason for this is so that the Debian-installer have a
consistent set of udebs to work with.

You have to ask -release to hint openssl in if the bacula change is
important.
