I completely understand the reasoning for that, and I ultimately agree 
that we shouldn't be using multiple SSL stacks if we can avoid it.

However, we're already pulling in both OpenSSL and GnuTLS through a 
transitive dependency because libmicrohttpd links with it. The only 
difference, package-wise, would be that systemd-journal-remote gains an 
explicit dependency on it and uses the available functionality.
