I see, although often is the database format version going to be bumped? Say only between lensfun x.y.z to x.(y+1), or even for .z releases? My only concern about versioning the -data package is that every time it needs to be bumped, the source (liblensfun) has to pass the NEW queue in Debian (which means review by ftp-masters, and can take up to days); OTOH I could live with that. The only thing I would do is naming it like liblensfun-data-vN though, as what you suggested earlier may imply it is providing a shared library liblensfun-data.so.N. Another solution could be double versioning the data, by library SONAME and database version, e.g. /usr/share/lensfun_$ABI/version_$DB/, which could allow to have liblensfunN and liblensfunN-data, parallel-installable aside each other SOVERSION. (Btw, are you an upstream developer? If so, may I contact you outside of this bug for a couple of things to be fixed?) Thanks, -- Pino Toscano
