Either the SONAME change involves an actual ABI incompatibility and that needs to be reverted because it's just way too late for that; or it doesn't, and atlas should provide compatibility symlinks.
On a related note, I see these libraries are actually handled as slave alternatives for libblas, which seems fairly broken as it means they'll go away if a different alternative is chosen (meaning any reverse deps won't work), unless I'm missing something. Cheers, Julien
