I'm sure you alrady saw this, but
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=188723
So packages _have_to_ build-depend on libssl* if they build-depend on
libmysqlclient-dev since depends are _broken_ in libmysqlclient-dev!!
Isn't there are a way of making MySQL not use OpenSSL?
Anyway, this is preventing MySQL Control Center from enterring Debian :(
