That is okay. The openssl transition is tracked in #995636 and did not
start yet. Once the release team allows, then 3.0 will uploaded to
unstable. Until then it will remain in experimental for testing.
So you have two options:
- upload one package that builds with openssl 1.1 and 3.0. Once the
  transition starts, the release team will binNMU your package and it
  will build against 3.0 without your doing.

- If your package can not build against both version you can just ignore
  it for it. Once the transition starts, this bug' severity level will
  increase and then you can do the upload.

The first option (a package that works with both versions) is preferred
in general.
