Bug#1010363: systemd-creds: Support for encrypted credentials not available.

[Neils Christoffersen]

Package: systemd
Version: 250.4-1~bpo11+1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: me at neils.tech

Dear Maintainer,

systemd v250 added support for encrypted credentials via the
systemd-creds tool. I installed the latest version of systemd from
bullseye-backports. When I run 'systemd-creds' I get the following
error: "Support for encrypted credentials not available."

The cause appears to be that systemd is built without OpenSSL, per this
upstream issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/22114

In the changelog for the Debian systemd package there is this note:
  -- Michael Biebl <biebl at debian.org>  Fri, 24 Dec 2021 13:02:05 +0100

  systemd (250~rc3-1) experimental; urgency=medium
  ...
  * Explicitly disable OpenSSL support.
    We don't want to pick up an OpenSSL dependency in a tainted build
    environment and pull a second crypto stack into systemd's dependencies.
  ...

Is there any possibility that OpenSSL support could be added so we have
access to this feature?

Thank you,
Neils Christoffersen
