Severity: important

Hello,

could you explain why each -2 -3 etc. upload bumps shlibs to the current debian
revision as opposed to the current upstream version? This effectly makes each
debian revision of libav a small transition. For example, now amarok [1] will
have to wait and depend on libav to migrate testing for no good reason at all.

I highly recommend at least replacing

dh_makeshlibs -p"$$pkg" -V"$$pkg (>= $(DEB_VERSION))";

with

dh_makeshlibs -p"$$pkg" -V

in debian/rules or better bringing everything to the next level with symbol
files.
