None whatsoever. The main point of my mail was to make sure you were
aware of its presence in the next upstream release  — since I believe
you have local patching to make it use a *different* enginesdir, and
wanted to make sure you notice that you now need to patch libcrypto.pc
(or whatever creates it) too.

I added a throwaway comment at the end (which you cited above), that
actually you don't *need* to wait for the next upstream release.
