libssl-dev is not actually a build dependency because debian/rules sets
NO_OPENSSL=1.  The changelog says that this is due to licensing issues
(the OpenSSL license is incompatible with the GPL; see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSL#Licensing>):

git-core (0.99-2) unstable; urgency=low
  * Use the Mozilla SHA1 code and/or the PPC assembly in preference to
    OpenSSL.  This is only a partial fix for the license issues with OpenSSL.


** Changed in: git-core (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

should include libssl-dev in build-dep
