Adrian, seriously? This is not a patch. While you are technically
correct to describe this is a patch - it is not.
The issue reported here (not building against openssl 1.1.0) is not
solved by this. Tagging this as patch makes people think that there is
indeed a patch which is not the case.
If the maintainer decides to stick with openssl 1.0.2 for the Stretch
release I assume he is able to do the change himself and lowering the
severity to important rather than closing this bug.
Please also untag any other patch tag in other bugs should they contain
only this kind of a patch.
