You did.
Kurt, AFAICT, openssl doesn't use the (relatively) new dpkg-shlibdeps
symbols support, would you consider adding that to openssl? More info

This newish feature helps reduce the need for backports by making sid
package more likely to be installable in stable and also helps the
release team with transitions.
