Thanks for reporting this bug. Admittedly it seems to only add 1.4M to the image, however it doesn't seem to me like something which is really needed in a base image. Note that openssl itself is not installed either. I am going to mark this wontfix, however if you have a specific example of something which is impossible or terribly inconvenient to do without this, please reply.
