That's because the OpenSSH license is incompatible with the GPL that AWS
uses, see /usr/share/doc/libaws2.10.2-dev/README.Debian, which I
reproduce here for your convenience:
Ada Web Server for Debian - maintainer's notes
The Ada Web Server library can use either libopenssl or libgnutls for
strong cryptography. This enables support for the HTTPS and other
encrypted protocols. Unfortunately there are problems with both
libraries.
libopenssl is licensed under terms incompatible with the General
Public License, while libaws is licensed under the GPL. Therefore,
Debian cannot ship binaries of libaws linked with libopenssl.
Linking libaws with libgnutls has a technical problem which I haven't
been able to correct. The symptom is that both ada2wsdl and wsdl2aws
segfault during elaboration. The segmentation fault takes place in
the call to gcry_control which is at aws-net-ssl__gnutls.adb:1000.

If you would like to help solve this problem, please send email to
aws@lists.adacore.com (I'm on that list, so you don't need to CC me).
