Thanks for looking at this.  What you say make sense.

I see that Xen does indeed Build-Depend on libssl-dev.  However, none
of the binary packages Depend on anything containing `ssl'.  I think
the libssl check in configure.ac and the corresponding libssl-dev
build-dep is cruft.  I'm investigating.

So in fact I think, despite appearances, neither src:xen nor any of
the binaries it generates is entangled with openssl.

Anyway, #812166 was fixed upstream in 4.7.0 anyway, so is fixed in
sid/stretch.  I'm closing that bug with this message.

Thanks,
Ian.
