You are looking at the wrong part of the wrong package, 
because libssl is one of the few exceptional packages which 
really do have that soname,


$ objdump -p /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 | grep SONAME
  SONAME      libssl.so.0.9.7



Call your package libssh-0.11-0.

Quoting from the libpkg-guide (which itself is a quote from vorlon)
I pointed out to you and you probably have not read yet:

	$ objdump -p /path/to/libfoo-bar.so.1.2.3 | sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | sed -e's/\([0-9]\)\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so\.//'
