net-libs/libsoup-2.2.94 unconditionally pulls in gnutls when the "ssl" USE flag is set. However, all other packages I had a look at separate gnutls and openssl like this: RDEPEND="gnutls? ( net-libs/gnutls ) ssl? ( !gnutls? ( dev-libs/openssl ) ) [taken from curl-7.15.3] There is a separate "gnutls" USE flag that should probably be used by libsoup in this instance so that installations may choose to include only one or the other library.

No, it shouldn't. It needs gnutls for SSL, read the code.
