Indeed not. They can continue to depend on the old version of libotr.
(Your libotr3 package, if I understand it? But does that mean you have
to change all of the above packages to explicitly name libotr3? If I
understand the Debian/Ubuntu method correctly, the package name has been
libotr2 all along, and all those other programs name libotr2 as their
dependency. The new package will be libotr5, and programs that update
their use of libotr can then switch their dependency to libotr5.)
Yes, I will send patches to the maintainers of these to change their
Require: libotr to Require: libotr < 4. The libotr3 package will supply
libotr < 4, while the libotr package will supply libotr >= 4.
As I am the pidgin-otr maintainer, I am going to ensure it is released
as an update at the same time as libotr gets bumped to 4.
