apt-rdepends -r libssh2-1 lists at least 2556 packages, so enabling

OpenSSL.
According to GPL usage statistics and amount of subpackages amongst the
reverse-depends, it amounts to ~500 upstream projects to change their
license.
Once it is done, I will definitely change the libssh2 backend.
Hi,
there is no requirement of an OpenSSL clause anymore.
FTP Masters have reconsidered the use of OpenSSL and it can be used by
GPL software now with invoking the system library exception.
See the last comments on #924937.
It would be very appreciated if you could switch to building with
OpenSSL before full bullseye freeze!
Thanks,
Bastian
