As these packages depend specifically on slot 0, the deps could be changed to virtual/jpeg:0 and virtual/openssl:0 respectively, and then updated later should another compatible slot come along (as they'd need to be anyway). Granted, you then lose the automatic rebuild if these packages start using subslots, so it's probably best to leave the slot operator dep.
