Just ran into the same issue when adding (GnuTLS) DANE support for Wget2. The Debian `libgnutls-dane0` library depends on `libunbound8`, which depends on `libssl`.

The resulting deps are
```
   wget2
       └─► libgnutls-dane.so.0                             
               └─► libunbound.so.8                    
                       └─► libssl.so.3 / libcrypto.so.3
```

I believe it's not something that Debian can solve by using other configure/build options for unbound. It requires some structural changes in the unbound build system (libunbound8 alone can in theory be built with nettle deps instead of libssl/libcrypto).

I'd love to see a libc only solution.

As an alternative, [this patch](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/20) could possibly be revived.
