apkeep binary packages based on libssl1.1, not working on Ubuntu

The released apkeep binary packages for Ubuntu are linked against libssl1.1. However, Ubuntu uses libssl3 and cannot (easily) install libssl1.1.

If you try to run the binary apkeep-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu on Ubuntu 22.04

./apkeep-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It is a libssl problem

$ ldd apkeep-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffec9b9f000)
    libssl.so.1.1 => not found
    libcrypto.so.1.1 => not found
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fd6d1a14000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd6d1a0f000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fd6d0f19000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fd6d1a08000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd6d0c00000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd6d1a4e000)

Ubuntu 22.04 has both libssl3 and libssl1.1 packages.

Does it make sense to upgrade the binary packages to use libssl3? I am not familiar with the state of libssl and other distros.

Workaround

If you can launch a VM so that you do not mess up your Linux installation, you can

wget https://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.21_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -f ./libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.21_amd64.deb

Then, you can run the binary apkeep.

Note: If you try to add symlinks to libssl3, it does not work. There are differences.
