In the long-term it would be better to provide a patch fixing build of the
package. Probably adding -DOPENSSL_NO_ENGINE to build flags will work.
Engines are deprecated. You should not use engines and should migrate to
providers.

The implemented solution is an attempt to find balance between removing
engines at all (not possible as of now) and delaying the migration to
providers.
I'd recommend consider it as a gentle reminder about future engine
deprecation
