This was a policy decision made by the debian coreutils package maintainers
to not link coreutils GPL code with the openssl licensed system libs.
Note Red Hat / Fedora / Centos did consider this combination fine
and have enabled this for quite a while.
Note openssl licencing has nearly completed a transition to Apache 2
in which case debian would be free to enable this option.
