The only feature that compiling QEMU with libssh adds is
support for a 'ssh' block backend. That means you can pass
'-drive file=ssh://host/path/to/file' to get QEMU to open a
disk image on a remote machine.

If you don't need to use that feature, you can pass
QEMU configure "--disable-libssh". QEMU will then just
not try to use the Ubuntu libssh.

There seems to be some confusion in this thread about
whether the problem is libssh or libssl. These are two
different libraries. The bug report you give the URL
for is for libssh.
