Hello,
it seems this is still an issue.
My workaround was holding back that version of libssl-dev with:
        sudo -E apt-get install libssl1.1=1.1.0f-3+deb9u2 -qq -y --allow-downgrades
        sudo -E apt-get install libssl-dev=1.1.0f-3+deb9u2 -qq -y --allow-downgrades
       sudo apt-mark hold libssl1.1 libssl-dev


But this does not work anymore, because this versions of the libs are not available for installation anymore on the official Debian mirrors:
+ sudo -E apt-get install libssl1.1=1.1.0f-3+deb9u2 -qq -y --allow-downgrades
E: Version '1.1.0f-3+deb9u2' for 'libssl1.1' was not found
+ sudo -E apt-get install libssl-dev=1.1.0f-3+deb9u2 -qq -y --allow-downgrades
E: Version '1.1.0f-3+deb9u2' for 'libssl-dev' was not found

Is there any chance with bug will be fixed ?
Do you need more information ?

Thanks an best regards
Dirk Mayer

I suspect this is fixed upstream but I am unable to take care of uploading a new version for the next few weeks. An NMU / team upload would be appreciated!
