'openssl-c-rehash.patch' is being applied, but at some point in the
build process the change is reverted.

I haven't figured out why yet. Ludo is right, it would be really good to
only change our OpenSSL package one day this week.

So, I'm asking for help with this problem!

I will spend some time on it tomorrow, but I really don't have any
promising leads. My plan is to step through the build process and learn
when the shebang is recreated. Hopefully then I will get some
inspiration.

I suppose a nasty short term fix would be to patch the file after
installing it. I will submit that patch if it seems there is no other
option in time for the security update.
