I think you are mixing -dev and non-dev packages. libbotan1.7-dev
doesn't depend on any other -dev package. While libbotan1.7 very well
depends on libssl0.9.8 (but still not libssl-dev) (on lenny, that is).

On squeeze, I'm able to compile monotone (c2d9a013..) just fine without
having libssl-dev installed (but with libssl0.9.8).
