Again, using libssl1.0-dev makes the build pass.

Bug#846462: webcit: FTBFS (zlib.h was not found or is not usable)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:webcit
Version: 902-dfsg-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:


[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep --with autotools-dev,quilt
   dh_testdir -i
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig -i
   dh_quilt_patch -i
