And still, why openssl instead of ssl? Even if most people are out to only get the plugin the meaning of use flag for the rest of the package is still the same. So is there a special reson why upstream do want ssl disabled for people only out to get the plugin (and why not EAPI=3D1 and IUSE=3D"-ssl")?
