Mainly that protocol-based compile-time variability was already there.
But i agree that it would make sense to have support for RPKI without SSH
transport / libssh dependency, and i already got some requests for that.
So perhaps we will update that.

Isn't EdgeOS based on Debian? So i suppose there should not be problem
with libssh / libgcrypt there.

But last time i played with EdgeRouter i just dropped whole EdgeOS and
used vanilla Debian with Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Linux kernel.
