Really you have to ask Debian.  While it's a fair question to ask what
happens  if you build nut yourself, packagers set options on and off and
make dependencies visible or not, as decisions.

Read the Debian packaging control files.

In the pkgsrc build, there is a choice of openssl or nss.   Not really
sure why anybody would want nss.   With openssl, the configure args are

  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-ssl=openssl --without-nss --with-openssl

and

  $ ldd /usr/pkg/bin/upsc
  /usr/pkg/bin/upsc:
          -lupsclient.7 => /usr/pkg/lib/libupsclient.so.7
          -lssl.15 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.15
          -lcrypto.15 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.15
          -lcrypt.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1
          -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
          -lpthread.1 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1

also if you ./configure yourself, save the output and read it.
