I originally thought that we might be able to do without the -devel
subpackage as there are the usual problems with it - such as it being
conflicting with the primary openssl-devel package and also potential
for unstability in applications that have loaded both old and new
OpenSSL into a single process.

The question is what does this really mean - in theory at least the API
should be fully backwards compatible so what builds against openssl
1.1.1 should build against openssl 3. Of course testcases that expect
bug-for-bug compatibility might not work as expected.

But yeah I am not against providing compat-openssl11-devel for a few
releases at least. And I can orphan the package later if someone else
wants to maintain it further then.
