I'm afraid I have to ask you not to do this.

It is not that the package isn't DFSG, it's that it is *illegal* for
*anyone* to distribute it. Anyone. Anyone at all. You *cannot*
distribute it, because it is *not* in compliance with the GPL.

Please remove the packages ASAP.

I'm afraid that he is right. The other possibility would be to ask the Gwenhywfar authors to explicitly allow redistribution of binaries of their software against openssl. AFAIU they licenced their software under plain gpl, which prohibits distribution of binaries linked against openssl. Sorry.
