So bacula-dir can use a library (libpq) which uses libssl, but cannot use
libssl directly? Maybe we should just create a wrapper library around
libssl and be done with all the problems... ;-)

Ah, OK. But this is a technical advice, how about the legal status? I've never
used your package, but if you cant install it without installing libssl IMO
that would qualify as a dependency.
