The problem is that libcrypt-smime-perl < 0.29 fails with openssl >= 3.2.0. 
This was solved by the Perl team with their 0.29 upload. This and 0.30
didn't migrate to testing and in the meantime we got OpenSSL into
unstable which relies on that fix.
The migration was delayed by the time_t transition.

Could britney be hinted to migrate both at the same time? This should
solve the issue you pointed out.
