I *really* disagree with that. Swtiching libssl-dev to provide
libssl1.1-dev
means that some apps/libs will get automatically recompiled and some of

might even not FTBFS (because for example, they are ready to use 1.1).
If a 1.1.0 ready package ftbfs when libssl-dev points to 1.0 it is a bug
that
should be fixed anyway. There is no real reason not to support both
versions.
That means we left the door open to crashes due to mixed libssl
versions.
By letting libssl-dev provide libssl1.0 we do not open this door, and
we let
maintainers decide on a per-basis case.
And we have to maintain two openssl versions trough the release cycle.
