Changing the SONAME makes it possible to keep third party apps built against the current stretch (or the jessie) version libmusicbrainz3 working even after an upgrade of libstdc++ to something >= 5.2. They do not simple fail to start because symbols from /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz3.so.6 disappeared. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
