Of course that's a patch. Why do you think it starts with "diff"? It's just not a Debian patch which patches the upstream software but I never implied that. >> Overall, Joerg has invested a lot of time and effort to fix the >> missing SO version in the package name and most other people we >> have discussed this with in Debian agreed with this change. > > I question that statement.

He was mainly concentrated on fixing other issues first and the accidental upload came from my side because I forgot this day that sbuild is ignoring the distribution from the changelog entry. So the package landed in unstable too early. > Renaming the soname without a Provides is a problem because I > understand there are lots of third-party .deb packages which would no > longer work in Debian until those third-parties update their binary > packages.
