For crazy people who think that regular libraries can change the copyright status of a program (not so), you can always decide to build without OpenSSL and use the included Mozilla-based SHA1 implementation for git. Performance will probably suffer, and maybe something else breaks too (I doubt many people test the build that way very often), but I assume Debian people don't care. After all, if you're a Debian person, it's likely more important to you to be difficult and anal and argue about theoretical license details than actually be *usable*.
