This sounds wrong if there is no intention to have code linked against
a particular sub-letter version.  But the source is already doing that
(up to "e" ATM).

This sounds like a bug in that package, since there is no libssl
version 10, AFAICT -- but it looks like a common choice for a version
number.  So maybe it's best to make racket use that, and drop the
existing "1.0.0[a-f]" versions?

(It would probably help if people try that and see if there are any
problems with doing so.)
