Please explain me what is wrong with this.

Note that the /etc/ssl/certs directory is empty, and you'll need
the ca-certificates package to place files in it.

Installing ca-certificates, openssl and libssl0.9.8, and then
removing it:

I don't see how this can be a bug in the openssl package
at all.  Maybe you want to file a bug against
ca-certificates instead.
