is attribution in the OSM wiki (and changeset comments) sufficient to
satisfy the obligations? Permanent attribution on object level cannot be
guaranteed.

IMHO you shouldn't overwrite in OSM existing names without local knowledge.
Better add the SSR-names as "official_name" in case of incongruences.

-1, "name" in OSM is usually the name as local people use it and not the
name how it is "accepted" according to an official entity. Have you
discussed this issue with the local community and is there consensus to
accept SSR as the one and only instance for "correct" Norwegian names?

this metadata really should go on the changeset and not be tagged on object
level, at least source, no-kartverket-ssr:url and no-kartverket-ssr:date
tagging no-kartverket-ssr:objid is generally problematic, as it is not
clear what to do with these tags in case you change an object (split,
combine, etc.), tags like this generally tend to weigh on the db and not to
be re-used after the import.
