Yes, as mentioned in the message to -done, it's an issue in saga.
debian/control is generated from debian/control.in at configure time, it
then sets the version specific library package names which were outdated
in debian/control.
This is one of the reasons I don't like generating debian/control, just
update the version explicitly when packaging a new upstream release.
Kind Regards,
Bas
