You create a new mingw-openssl10 package set, or even just a single
package only providing the openssl 1.0 DLLs, i.e. mingw-libopenssl100.
Then you create the mingw-openssl packages with the new 1.1 version.
The mingw-libopenssl110 package gets an extra dependency to
mingw-libopenssl100. That will work OOTB without having to fix the
dependent package hints.
The old openssl packages providing the previous 1.0 versions should
better get removed, I guess.
In a second step the dependencies in the below packages could be changed
to require the mingw-libopenssl100 package. At least that would be
better for bookkeeping. Does that require manual intervention on the
server? I'm not sure, Jon would know this better.
