* Rollback upstream change from soname 7 => 8.
They only removed two functions which were unused and buggy.
I checked with them and they agree it was not worth changing the soname.
Upstream mail:

I checked with the developers to be sure it would be okay for you to plug
these functions back in and keep soname 7. The short answer is "yes".
It seems that these APIs were broken and users would not or could not have
been using them. Therefore, adding them back in for the sake of
distribution simplification should not have a negative effect on most (or all?)
user
applications.
Rather than removing those APIs outright, we should have deprecated them and
removed them from the documentation, but not actually removed them from the
software until the next major release. :|

(I am not planning to put these two functions back)
