I guess it should be bit more explicit:

<listitem><para>Fix bug in <filename>/contrib/pgcrypto</> gen_salt,
which caused it not to use all available salt space for md5 and
xdes algorithms (Marko Kreen, Solar Designer)</para>
<para>Salts for blowfish and standard des are unaffected</para></listitem>

This hopefully makes it clear who is affected and how important is to
upgrade. Also the 'Openwall' is confusing, better credit fix author.
