On 2006-05-01 22:34:12, Ulf Möller, openssl developer [1], responded [2] to openssl packager Kurt Roeckx [3] saying that he was for applying the patch just to keep valgrind quiet. But openssl doesn't like to talk about that, and neither does slashdot for that matter. For a distro packager, the maximum authority regarding what to do with a given piece of software is upstream and common sense. If upstream says it's a ok, then common sense takes a backseat during technical discussions. Not to mention that initializing variables like that is undefined and bound to *always* cause confusion.
