IIRC, On many platforms 'ssl' is packaged separately because of concerns
with export licensing, etc. For example, on debian/Ubuntu, I believe you
have to install python-ssl.

Note that it is a bug if bzr requires ssl to run at all, but not a bug
if we require ssl to use https. As for launchpad, I think you can use
the http://bazaar.launchpad.net without using ssl, however lp: probably
resolves via an https rpc.
