Indeed. I have decided to go with 1.0.2 to minimize the changes. :)

 * collected upstream *explicitly* adds a -lssl -lcrypto in an
   Makefile.am, so the package should B-D on it as necessary (or
   patch those -l statements out if they are unnecessary).

 * cacti-spine => Paul said he would fix that, so I assuming he got this

 * hplip => source suggests that there should be some from of
   build-dependency[1]

 * pacemaker => Ideally, libesmtp-dev would either depend on libssl-dev
   (or not include -lcrypto -lssl in its libesmtp-config script)

I will file bugs for the above (cacti-spine being a possible exception)
tomorrow - feel free to beat me to it. :)

Thanks,
