It would be really nice if the owners of those packages scheduled a 
nightly rebuild of them all so that the openssl097a package is no longer 
required.  (I'm not sure adding 9 or so bugzilla reports with "please 
rebuild" is that useful to anyone so I'll desist on that one..).

Perhaps there are issues rebuilding some of them with the newer gcc4 in 
rawhide though? :(
