Why would the upstream use that numbering scheme (without being asked)? Upstream has already conciously added the release version to the soname which indicates they aren't keeping the ABI stable between releases. This is also done in other libraries such as libusb. Now if you could convince upstream to use normal library versioning instead that would probably be a good thing... Chris
