If you take a look at [0] then you notice the packages in state
`unknown'. They B-D on libssl-dev but don't link against it. The
alljyn-* packages are "okay" because it is only temporary until 1.1.0 is
provided. Others may not be oay as I tried to explain and `polygraph' is
such an example. Ideally each package listed in the `unknown' state
would mean that something went wrong.
I would like to avoid filling 83 bugs to get this fixed up. And if there
more people like you which would like as little changes as possible then
there is no point in doing this. So maybe I need to find another way of
tracking failures like in `polygraph'.
