I had similar issues with the botan package on MacPorts and openSUSE a
while ago and reported that upstream. IIRC the reason why there is a
(optional) dependency to libssl at all is because botan can use libssl's
or its own implementation of various hash functions such as sha1 and
choose whatever is the fastest for the particular used hardware and setup.
