I also agree, given OpenSSL Version 1.1.0 will be supported until one year after the release of 1.1.1 (i.e 2019/09/11), migrating to 1.1.1 LTS would be the best course of action for 18.04 LTS (EOL 2023/04):
Quoting from yesterday's 1.1.1 release announcement:
> Since 1.1.1 is our new LTS release we are strongly advising all users to upgrade as soon as possible. For most applications this should be straight forward if they are written to work with OpenSSL 1.1.0. Since OpenSSL 1.1.0 is not an LTS release it will start receiving security fixes only with immediate affect as per our previous announcement and as published in our release strategy. It will cease receiving all support in one years time.

Perhaps this warrants its own new ticket?
