I have no problem with that idea as long as the previous packages can be

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.
Yes, all the hint files would need to get edited.
Stop!
We don't put the soversion into cross-package names.
I don't think we are the only distro to do that.
I don't think it makes any sense to do so, as there's no executables in
other cross-packages which use that shared library.
Any user cross-built executables will need to be rebuilt after this
update (and the names of any shared libraries distributed with the
cross-built executable updated)
I get that this is trying to avoid having to rebuild all the dependent
cross-packages right now, but they need to be rebuilt eventually, and
making stuff more complex just for that temporarily state doesn't seem
useful.
