You're wrong.  libssl-dev installs libraries in /usr/lib:

$ dpkg -L libssl-dev | grep libcrypto
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a
/usr/lib/libcrypto_pic.a
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so

For stunnel you should use:
./configure --with-ssl=/usr
since that's the prefix OpenSSL libraries and includes are installed on
Debian.

BTW: Simple ./configure works fine on Debian.
