No idea if this is relevant, but:
Ubuntu had for some time an additional build-dep on libssl-dev.
(Cf. eg.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnet-ssh2-perl/+bug/1077819
)

There was also some discussion in Debian. After some digging I found
eg. https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2012/08/msg00041.html which
might explain some background :)
