Actually, I should approach you earlier about this. :) Sorry.

That's why I'm proposing the changes.  This way xcin would not break
when new libtabe releases. :)

Thanks for the pointer.  Note the following paragraph regarding the use
of -release:

:    Note that this option causes a modification of the library name, so
: do not use it unless you want to break binary compatibility with any
: past library releases.  In general, you should only use `-release' for
: package-internal libraries or for ones whose interfaces change very
: frequently.

This means that, whenever libtabe changes its release name (ie.
libtabe-0.2.5, libtabe-0.2.6, etc), binary compatibility would break
anyway.  (xcin now links to libtabe-0.2.4.so.0 in any case.)  Therefore,
I think the package should be called libtabe0.2.4.

I'll consult with other Debian developers about the package naming.

OK, but it would be better if, for example, fixes for 0.2.4 are branched
or tagged with 0-2-4, etc, instead of in CVS Head.  But this is only a
suggestion. :)

Yup, I'll be building it with libdb3.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
