Hi Vagrant,
this is no longer an issue. Debian FTP masters are now treating OpenSSL
as a system library, which makes it GPL-compatible, see the discussion at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/10/msg00165.html (with confirmation
by Sean from the FTP team)

A number of other components in Debian have already switched back to
OpenSSL, e.g. MariaDB.

Cheers,
        Moritz
