Public bug reported:

When attempting to compile a product, the "./configure" stage indicates
that openssl-dev is missing.  I have openssl installed, but there is no
package named anything like openssl-dev or openssl-devel.  Also, running
"aptitude search openssl" does not show "libssl-dev".  It seems
reasonable to expect that the development package would show up in a
general search for the name of the package.  It's not hard to do a good
search for "ubuntu openssl dev" and come up with several people asking
the question (and getting an answer), but it seems likely that I'll
probably forget this again next time I need to do it.

It would be nice to either add an "openssl-dev" virtual package which
points at "libssl-dev," or to work the term "openssl" into the first
part of the description that something like "aptitude search" would
find.  Yes, "apt-cache search openssl | grep dev" does find it, so maybe
the real bug is that I seem to remember "aptitude search" instead of
"apt-cache search." :)

I'd prioritize this pretty low.
