[bugs for "gridengine doesn't build with OpenSSL 1.1"]

This is a bit silly; I'd rather we do not have yet another Debian
release without gridengine.

What are the plans for this? Is someone working on things so that
gridengine will build with OpenSSL 1.1? If not, are there any plans for
an upload with build-depends changed to libssl1.0-dev?

The freeze is getting close, we don't want to miss the ball on this
one...
