As a new maintainer has stepped up, this cannot be the reason anymore

We're glad to hear, there's a new maintainer.
It would also be interesting for Debian's downstreams who take a
different approach to combining OpenSSL with GPL-2-only packages
(licenses are incompatible, which Debian heals with the application
of the GPL-built-in system library exception). Ubuntu and probably
others do not take the same stand and wolfSSL is really the only TLS
library that has a usable OpenSSL compatibility layer.
If it helps, I can support the new maintainer
OSADL is supporting Bastian with his work on SWUpdate. Quite a few of
our members are concerned about the license incompatibility issue
mentioned above. Therefore, there is considerable interest in using
WolfSSL as an alternative to OpenSSL in SWUpdate (and other packages).
