Guillaume,

It is not always permitted to link gpl code with ssl unless upstream provides 
a license exception:

http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl.html

	The GPL (including version 3) is incompatible with some terms of the
	OpenSSL license, and therefore Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code
	linked with OpenSSL libraries unless there is a license exception
	explicitly permitting this.
