This will work, but it will stop the ability to rebuild the packages and migrate thereby to a new API. I dont know which is more important, stable testing dependencies or dynamic evolution of the package pool. Personally I think the later is, what testing is for. But: it would be good to detect such a mismatch on build time, for backporting purpose. One good thing would be a static detection of lib incompatibilities in the rules file. How about dh_shlibdeps, is it detecting this (and failing?). Hmm.. actually I think this was not the problem in the current example.
