Yes, it is. It should not mention -1. In fact, -release should not be combined with -version-info, and it's almost always better to use -version-info. Using release means that no two packages will ever be binary compatible. See the libtool manual. The Debian package should be named libnet6-0, where the -0 encodes the binary age of the library. > Upstream's intention for “- > release 1” was that major versions are binary incompatible anyway and > so one could reset the SONAME to 0:0:0.

It should be used precisely to deal with the situation. -version-info is your friend. You should tell upstream to stop using -release.
