Do these packages cause any issues? Instead of dropping them, add more libs to them so that old binaries continue to work.

keeping old versions of openssl around is a terrible idea, in fact keeping anything less than $stable openssl around is.
This is NOT the old version of openSSL, but a lib that takes the calls to openSSL in the old (0.97) format and "translates" them into calls to the actual $stable openSSL version. Please look at the code. That is what "compat" is about: a translation layer. Old version ABI to new version, to keep e.g. third party binary software running WITHOUT having old and fault libs around. +1 for adding other old stuff, maybe the older, still used pango versions? - Yamaban.
