The SONAME is a basically a linker option and can be passed to ECL as a configuration flag during the build process. It is not our task as developers of ECL to impose a certain numbering scheme or link flags on the main source distribution, but rather the package maintainer to set it based on their own criteria or distribution standards. At least this is how I have seen that done for other packages, including Debian's ones (http://packages.debian.org/etch/libgc1c2) and that is what I meant by the text above.
