AFAIK, mail-notification uses OpenSSL, which cannot and will not be used in Debian due to licensing issues. That's why the SSL/TLS options are not available in the universe package (the --disable-ssl option is also explicitly specified in the debian/rules file).

In short, I don't think this bug will be fixed unless OpenSSL changes its license or mail-notification starts using gnutls instead. Shame though, since I'd also like to be able to use SSL.
