Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10.4 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer/DD/Mentors,
Based on Shared Librairies, Packaging Policy 8.2. When the upstream source is not versionned (stable ABI), the source package can be released without the SOVERSION. In this case (source lib without version), lintian could check if all the package are correctly unversionned and raise a warning when it found a discordance. Eg of an unversionned source package: libfoo -> libfoo{-dev,-dbg,-headers} -> Ok (no version on all packages) libfoo -> libfoo, libfoo1{-dev,-dbg,-headers} -> Wrong libfoo -> libfoo1, libfoo{-dev,-dbg,-headers} -> Wrong You can also read the following bugs #567510, #693911. Thanks for your involvement in Debian.
