It does install it to the sdk, however...

...if you want to use it for compilation you need the
telepathy-qt5-devel package. And no need to ssh in the vm, just go to
the SailfishOS -> Targets tab, click on manage for the desired
target(s), search for telepathy and install the telepathy-qt5-devel
package (and whatever else you need).

If you really want to do this, add -R to sb2 command line. It will
*appear* to give you root privileges. But as said, you don't need sb2
for this task.

It certainly does *include* openssl library as the heartbleed bug was
a part of the recent release :)

Which google hit might have suggested otherwise?
