yes you are right - I think thats only there because of a bug in some 
mysql distributions which needed it. The embedded mysql is in-process 
only so obviously will never use it but needs it to avoid compiler 
errors in some cases (when mysql is compiled with --enable-ssl)

this bug is noted here:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=21239

and its patch pending.

So for now, SSL will need to be a dependency in general but the embedded 
mysql in debian  actually does not need it. I guess adding it 
(libssl-dev) as a dependency in debian is okay (along with libwrap0-dev).

feel free to patch the debian files in the debian folder in tracker cvs.
