It seems this was reported upstream as [1].

libio-socket-ssl-perl depends on libnet-ssleay-perl AFAICS, so adding
a dependency for libcrypt-ssleay-perl on liblwp-protocol-https-perl
should be fine.

But I will doublecheck this, and then we can maybe upload the package
with only the dependency added. (and ask for an unblock). 

(please do not upload libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.60 yet)

Regards,
Salvatore
