ouch,

they would need to manually patch their Qt 5.9 build to support
openssl 1.1 or users would have to wait for the next Qt release (and
Debian needs to include that too) to be able to use Qt with openssl
1.1.

like some have pointed out - openssl 1.1 isn't really more secure than
the 1.0x series. on the other hand this move might break Qt apps for
thousands of people.
