I just did a build and indeed I don't see SSL being compiled in, however there's an option for the 'configure.in' script for --with-openssl[=DIR] (requires OpenSSL >= 0.9.7) to optionally include OpenSSL support ... which right now seemingly isn't used. The INSTALL file in the source in section 0) states that the source has no prequisites other than standard libc ... but near the end has a list of instructions at the end specifies that those compiling for Debian should include libssl-dev, but then the call to 'configure' doesn't use the --with-openssl option. I don't see anything in the manpage, aprx-manual, or aprx-requirement-specification documents that would indicate where SSL could be used. So best I can tell it looks like Build-Depends on libssl-dev and Depends on openssl can be removed. at least for this version of the package. Dave and Colin -- let me know if there's any objections.
