With the freeze looming in a few days, this is growing to be a very big risk for the stretch release.
I believe we should cut our losses, go back to shipping libssl-dev as 1.0.2 for stretch, and rebuild the world. I think this is 1) less work than actually getting ourselves out of the current mess, and 2) likely to get us to a better state for stretch users, who won't have to deal with half the archive's -dev package indirectly conflicting with the other half. I'm willing to prepare a new openssl1.0 package to take over libssl-dev and openssl binaries. Cheers, Julien
