Your second parenthesis is wrong. Just like LKM-s when the stock kernels' ABINAME is bumped, applications need to be rebuilt when the ABI of one of the libraries they link to changes in a way which is not backwards-compatible. You can check http://wiki.debian.org/OngoingTransitions for examples of library transitions.
