Yes, I was thinking of files and bytes footprint, not package numbers.
You're right that 167 packages will have an additional dependency of
libcrypto.

Right, that's what I had in mind.

These are the packages that depend (in terms of actual binaries, not
in terms of declared 'depend' files) on libcrypto but not on libssl:

CSWlibarchive2
CSWwireshark
CSWlibldns1
CSWcfengine3server
CSWcfengine
CSWlibbind
CSWldnsdrill
CSWcfengine3client
CSWossh
CSWntp
CSWrdesktop
CSWbind
CSWtcpdump
CSWpmcryptosslbignum
CSWsaslauthd
CSWcfengine3utils
CSWlibslp1
CSWsasl
CSWlibwireshark0
CSWbindutils
CSWopenslp
CSWlibarchive-utils
CSWcvs
CSWunbound-host
CSWlibtorrent
CSWyapet
CSWlibfbopenssl0
CSWnsd
CSWosshclient

It turns out to be 29 packages, because libssl itself does not count.

P.S. Carsten, your code came in handy again! Thanks!
