It needs to be rebuilt against openssl.  The openssl transition has
started and presumably we have been hit by the usual problem on
debian-ports of the old libraries being tossed out before you can
say "crikey".

It might be worth finding out whether the release team plans to start
scheduling the openssl binNMUs soon.  If not, some strategic binNMUS on
the d-p ports would be in order to free packages up for building once
more.
