If so, my approach is wrong (of course). However, your idea below won't
work either for the dtrace argument.

Given you want to use them for dtrace, our current approach won't ship.
Remember, we are checking out random paths from the upstream SVN and
build several binary packages out of it. Presuming dtrace needs one of
these libraries, you would suddenly have to provide a -dev package which
not only provides an unversioned .so but also headers the dtrace package
can build-depend on.
Otherwise you would need to checkout the same path for a library in
several source packages, but only one of them would actually be
providing the library. That /will/ end in a symbol mess sooner or later
if all upstream snapshots aren't perfectly synchronized.

That's all fine if you realize you need to manually check symbols for
every new release and push the SONAME and library if they changed.
Eventually we might add a symbol file to the source package or so.
