I'm afraid this is not possible. The engine will be in a new package.

If the bug is in the default engine, the engine is necessary.

Also, applying the highcontrast theme without the corresponding engine
leads to something less readable than what you get with the engine meant
for that.

BTW, if you need the highcontrast engine as well, it should be possible
now Loïc is building a gtk2-engines-udeb package.
