A system with (build) dependencies for multiple packages installed.

My unstable system is also affect by this issue, it has php7.0-dev
installed as part of the php-geos build dependencies. Those packages
need to be removed to allow the upgrade of nodejs & nodejs-dev.

Because of the unholy mess that is the OpenSSL 1.1.0 transition and the
complications it brings for the upcoming freeze, Julien Cristau has
suggested to "go back to shipping libssl-dev as 1.0.2 for stretch, and
rebuild the world" [0].

I hope that this happens so that we get rid of issues like this one
caused by libssl-dev and libssl1.0-dev conflicting.
