Looks like it's not actually SSL that ping6 wants to do, but MD5, due to
the support for "ICMPv6 Node Information Queries (RFC4620)":
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4620#section-5
[...] Compute the MD5 hash [...]
If it really does need to do MD5, maybe it could use the one in libbsd0
instead of dragging in libgnutls-openssl27 and its dependencies.
