xglamo is not yet in Debian?

no. it was mentioned only to illustrate how i stumbled over the issue (and to provide additional information if useful).

The name is just a name, it does not have to relate to the current
SONAME or anything else. Also, the name cannot be changed within Debian
without also changing every other reverse dependency (i.e. a library
transition). I see no point in doing that, even after Lenny, until
upstream need a new SONAME.

sorry, but i still don't get it. what is that 0.0 supposed to mean and when would it change to, say, 1.0? if the lib is called libts-0.0.so.0 where does that 0.0 come from (i mean, based on which rule is it 0.0 and not 1.0)?

to make xglamo compile with tslib i changed the name to tslib-1.0 and
the Version line to 1.0-4 and it went straight through.

Don't do that. Change how xglamo looks for tslib, it should ask
pkg-config for tslib-0.0 - also the version should *NEVER* include the
Debian version string. The version of tslib is 1.0 - nothing more.

xglamo cannot modify /usr/lib/pkgconfig/tslib-0.0.pc, so for xglamo to
build in Debian, it must ask pkg-config for 'tslib-0.0'.

well, it is a build outside any of debian's repositories, just for my pleasure -- but ok, i found the line in configure.ac and changed it.
