Regardless of crypto-in-main, you can't distribute GPL binaries linked
with OpenSSL; the licenses are not compatible. If the copyright holder
adds an explicit "it's GPL, but you can also link with OpenSSL"
statement, it should be okay.
(Yes, there are several packages in Debian now that violate this. See
recent discussions in debian-legal.)
