Initially, I uploaded with libclang-3.5.so as soname since the ABI remains the same over a version of libclang but dpkg-shlibdeps complained about the missing .1 even if it seems valid in the policy https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html "The soname may instead be of the form name-major-version.so, such as libdb-5.1.so, in which case the name would be libdb and the version would be 5.1. " What would you want in term of package naming ? I don't know what would work best here libclang-3.5.1 is kind of a bad name. If possible, I would prefer to keep the following naming and fix the doxygen breakage by the binNMU. Sylvestre
