Bug#979171: libnet-ssh2-perl FTCBFS: selects the wrong crypt backend

Source: libnet-ssh2-perl
Version: 0.72-2

libnet-ssh2-perl still fails to cross build. It seems like 0.72 changed
the syntax for selecting the crypto backend. A native build detects
absence of ssl and presence of gcrypt and all is fine. For a cross build
that doesn't seem to work. While debian/rules passes "gcrypt" to the
Makefile.PL, that's not what it expects. The buildlog kindly explains:

| To build with libgcrypt instead of OpenSSL, use the crypto_backend
| option when calling Makefile.PL, e.g.:
|
|     perl Makefile.PL crypto_backend=gcrypt

Once doing that, it actually cross builds. Please consider applying the
attached patch. I hope that this time, there is no conflict. :)
