We are not linked against anything as in a C program, there is no
mention to OpenSSL.so in our compiled binaries. We don't use openssl.so,
python-openssl do.

And I don't see why Gajim debian package cannot depend on another
package in debian which is not in non-free. If openssl and
python-openssl are in debian it means they have an opensource license,
an I wrong?
