That's true, but, as I said previously [1], *if* there were a
significant step forward (such as a decision by Open CASCADE S.A.S.,
with a public promise that next version of Open CASCADE Technology will
be re-licensed under GPLv2-and-v3-compatible terms), *then* we could
maybe obtain a wheezy-ignore tag for this bug (assuming that the
OpenSSL linking issue is easier to solve)...
