openssl.bin depends on perl because of c_rehash #19965

Description

Trying to build a small docker image of a nodejs project I noticed that openssl depends on perl:

3.4M    /nix/store/55azyw1bcrzn8q5ganaav0cnqs2viwdn-openssl-1.0.2i
48M     /nix/store/xcp6lrq3ynj75cqcyy7b32jgizf9jr4b-perl-5.22.2

The reason for this runtime dependency is the inclusion of c_rehash:

# Perl c_rehash script, scan all files in a directory
# and add symbolic links to their hash values.

There are no references to c_rehash in nixpkgs. Would any oppose dropping this from openssl-bin?
