How can I add libcrypto dependencies in a Debian package

Question

If my program depends on libcrypto.so.1.1, is it enough to specify libssl1.1 (> = 1.1.0) in debian/control?

Does this answer your question? [Debian control file dependencies for a program which depends on libcurl.so, libsqlite3.so, libcrypto.so and libpthread.so](https://stackoverflow.com/q/44429179) I think *you* are the only one who is going to be able to answer whether you need to depend on that particular version, or whether you will accept newer versions. — Cody Gray - on strike, Mar 16 '22 at 06:28

As spelled out in the Debian policy, the package name also specifies the SONAME of the library. Thus it should be sufficient to have

Depends: libssl1.1

without an explicit version specifier. (Also, the space between > and = in your question looks like a syntax error to me.)
