Package: libxmlsec1-openssl
Version: 1.2.9-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.5
Policy 2.5 says:
Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding
build-time dependencies). In order to ensure this, the priorities of one or
more packages may need to be adjusted.
libxmlsec1-openssl is optional; however, it Depends on libssl0.9.7, which is
extra. Additionally, fixing this bug would probably fix 355484, and would
reduce your dependencies on packages in section oldlibs (which are hopefully
going away *soon*).
Thank you for your consideration.

Three points:
- It is a policy violation to depend on a package of lower priority, but not
a release-critical policy violation (per
http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt); please don't file bugs
against packages at severity: serious for this.
- Even if it were an RC bug, the ftpmasters control package priorities via
archive overrides, so if libxmlsec1-openssl actually needed libssl0.9.7
for some reason, this bug would be out of the maintainer's hands...
- It happens that, since libssl-dev now points to libssl0.9.8, no maintainer
action is required for this package to get rebuilt against libssl0.9.8 --
it can be handled via binNMU instead. I've just scheduled binNMUs for
xmlsec1 across all architectures for this rebuild, so I'm going ahead and
closing this bug and bug #355484 in anticipation of those successful
builds. :)
Cheers,
