You mean 0.9.8a-1 has the bug since 0.9.8-3 didn't have symbol
versioning yet.

It looks like we did something wrong, or something is broken.  We
have this in shlibs.local:
libcrypto 0.9.8 libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8a-1)
libssl 0.9.8 libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8a-1)

Yet /var/lib/dpkg/info/libssl0.9.8.shlibs says:
libcrypto 0.9.8 libssl0.9.8
libssl 0.9.8 libssl0.9.8

I assume that the library you're trying to link to is linked
against a newer libssl0.9.8 with symbol versioning?

Anyway, this really only cause problems in sid where you didn't
upgrade yet.  There never was a version (of libssl0.9.8) in
testing that didn't have symbol versioning.  So it isn't that
important to get fixed, but I'll look into it.
