lukemftpd does not use libssh, but it uses libpam.  When compiled
statically, libpam contains all the PAM modules in the tree, including
pam_ssh, which uses libssh.

The whole static libpam thing is an ugly hack that I wish would go
away, but some people insist on building static versions of login(1)
and other binaries which depend on libpam.
