I wonder if it would be possible (of course it is technically possible,
more like how hard it would be) to make the OpenSSL devel package
conditionally define OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE if another package is
not installed. I can think of at least two ways to do that:
- alternatives (but maybe that's my Debian background talking)
- #include_next games

G'luck,
