Yes, some mechanism to prevent this would be good. I only noticed this
issue after approximately two days and therefore received some e-mails
(too) late.

I took a different approach and upgraded the openssl and libssl1.1
packages to version 1.1.1h-1 (from unstable). I did so because I am not
affected by any of the regressions listed at the oppenssl package
tracker (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openssl). With this approach, I
don't need to take any further manual actions later on (to unhold the
package).

Also a big thanks from my side -- really appreciated!
The above is only meant as constructive feedback, certainly not as
criticism.
Cheers,
