You should tell us the specific version of the package you built. If 
you used the 'reportbug' tool, it would have included it in the 
report.

Of course test suite *is* run on the build daemons. Did you look at 
the build log?

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=libnet-ssleay-perl;ver=1.33.01-1;arch=ia64;stamp=1214906736

As seen in the above build log, buildds used 4.3.1-3

I also feel uneasy about the patch prosposed as I suspect %ld may not 
be appropriate on 32-bit architectures.
