That's my understanding of the situation too, yes.
I've been discussing the mumble openssl transition issue with one of the Qt
maintainers in #818943. There's a hackish idea of building a tiny dummy Qt
application or library that has OpenSSL as a dependency that could be
shipped alongside qtnetwork, in order to have part of Qt depend on OpenSSL
and thus have it binNMUed for OpenSSL transitions.
