Yep. That's the point of my proposal. They would be. When you changed

package to use the new c103 (or whatever the next ABI is), you'd
change
the library dependencies to the c103 versions.
This will work, but it will stop the ability to rebuild the packages
and
migrate thereby to a new API.
Not really. Packages already had to be manually rebuilt[0] for the
current transition. There is no reason that a simple change of
s/CXX=g++-c102/CXX=g++-c103/
couldn't be done at the same time.
OTOH, accidental ABI migrations leading to, depending on the ABI
change, anything from instability/data corruption/etc. to dynamic
linking failure, will be avoided.
How about dh_shlibdeps, is it detecting this (and failing?). Hmm..
actually
I think this was not the problem in the current example.
That makes the problem a little more obvious, but it doesn't solve it.
