Yes, you were mistaken.
It's not really a good idea for your package configure script, or whatever, to
go sniffing around the build environment and turn features on or off depending
on
what it finds; this is always going to be fragile. The buildds don't make any
particular promises about the contents of the chroot, except that they will
satisfy whatever build-depends and build-conflicts you have declared.

Is it necessary to do both? If "--with-openssl=no" suffices to prevent your
package from actually using SSL, adding a Build-Conflict will just create a
nuisance for people trying to compile the thing.
