[DRE-maint] Bug#591979: I would rather do the extra work when some GPL library needs eventmachine

The two packages mentioned above won't require this,

thin is Ruby licensed, and stompserver is apache licensed.

When we really hit this problem, there are 3 options we have,

1. We could ask the upstream to add an openssl exception
2. We can create a separate package without openssl
3. Port eventmachine to use gnutls

For now, I'll add libssl-dev to build deps.

See https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/01/msg00025.html for
some insights

rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
