Comment (by leif):
Well, it's not really an optional package, but rather there (more or
less^*^) for convenience, since AFAIK OpenSSL is a prerequisite for Sage,
which means it's up to the user (or administrator) to install it; doing
`sage -i openssl` is probably just easier for some, others will (or
should) use their distro's package manager in case it is missing.
[Haven't read sage-devel for a while; unless it isn't already, it should
probably also be discussed / voted on there.]
----
^*^ I vaguely remember problems with some formerly current 1.x version,
such that we didn't upgrade the optional spkg to 1.x (it's meanwhile
1.0.1c), so the optional spkg was also there for those that would
otherwise have installed an incompatible (1.x) version.
