Title:
  openssl maintainer scripts do not trigger services restart

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openssl source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Major libssl ugprades require services to be restarted, for them to continue to function correctly at runtime.
   * The maintainer scripts were not adjusted to trigger.

  [Test Case]

   * Install bionic from release pocket and install ssl using daemon e.g. openssh-server libapache-mod-ssl
   * Upgrade libssl1.1
   * Ensure that services that use openssl are offered to be restarted.

  [Regression Potential]

   * We are rebuilding libssl1.1 and changing maintainer scripts. Given
  that we have missed upgrade trigger, we will ask users to restart
  services again even if they may have restarted them already.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Previous major libssl upgrade issue of similar nature was
