From: Quirin Gylstorff <quirin.g...@siemens.com>

The upstream headers do not have dependencies to the runtime libraries.
The ${shlibs:Depends} macro will correctly generate the necessary
dependencies.

libssl is only used in extract-cert which is necessary during the kerneln build
if CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING is enabled.
This config element is not necessary for the module build
and is therefore removed from the kbuild packages.

The debian macro is ${shlibs:Depends} to generate the shared library
dependencies

Patch ordering: Fix the shlibs thing in patch 2 first so that you can
safely drop the THEN no longer needed header deps.
