building mutt SSL deb package (configure error)

Hello,

 I am running woody (testing) and trying to get together a mutt-ssl
 package. I have read the README.Debian concerning this in the
 mutt package.

 I downloaded the source:

# apt-get source mutt

 Uncommented the appropriate like in the debian/rules file for SSL.
 Then, ran

# dpkg-buildpackage -b -mnick@namodn.com

 It came up with a list of dependencies (gnutls{-dev} being one of
 them). So I installed all of the required packages using dselect.
 However, the mutt version in woody (1.3.27) depends on gnutls
 v0.3.5, and woody's gnutls package is only at 0.2.x 

 So I grabbed the sid package for gnutls & gnutls-dev and installed
 them with no additional dependencies. However, mutt still refuses
 to build, now I am getting an error about "Unable to find SSL library"
 when I have every dependency listed installed.

~/dev/deb-src/mutt/mutt-1.3.27# dpkg-buildpackage -b -mnick@namodn.com
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is mutt
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 1.3.27-2
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386

 Any ideas on what i'm missing in order to build mutt with SSL? 
 Also, I'd like to know how to add an extension to the package
 name/version so that I can differentiate this package from the
 standard debian package, like:

* Package: mutt-ssl
  Status: install ok installed
  Priority: standard
  Section: non-US
  Installed-Size: 3376
* Maintainer: Nick Jennings <nick@namodn.com>
* Version: 1.3.27-2_ssl
? Replaces: mutt-i
  Provides: mail-reader
? Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libncurses5 (>= 5.2.20010310-1), libsasl7, exim | mail-transport-agent
