It's botan-config that adds -lcrypto to the link line, so it's
libbotan1.7-dev's responsibility to ensure that the bare
"libcrypto.so" symlink exists, which would be accomplished by
depending on libssl-dev.

(I'm a little surprised this is the case, I thought botan had its own
crypto primitives and that the weird libssl license precluded its
using ssl's)
