Ok, this makes sense. So just to be clear, here are the steps I plan to follow:
1. In liburcu source, add "-V" to dh_makeshlibs to set strict symbol version
dependencies on this particular version
2. Rebuild ltt-control against the new liburcu, which will pull in liburcu's
shlibs and cause ltt-control to depend on that specific version of liburcu.
3. Request binNMU for ltt-control.
Is step 3 necessary, will the updated ltt-control not sort this out? That's the
only piece I don't quite follow.
Thanks again!
