I think that would be alright as the GPL has a clause like this: "anything that is normally distributed...with the major components...of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable." So because OpenSSL is in base, and bitlbee is distributed separately in packages, I think we are OK there. (if it were not for this, we couldn't distribute packages, as GPL is incompatible with the OpenSSL license; this is why several GPL projects have specific exemptions for linking against OpenSSL).
