(speaking for Java) At the moment, you don't. However, it's on the agenda for our BoF later this week at debconf. I'd like to see a coherent plan for transitions (wrt modules in Java). When it comes to glue; generally it's assumed that the same source package will be building both the java side of the glue and the C side, so there's no need to SONAME it for that. However, if we want parallel installable versions of the java library, that naming needs to extend to all of files shipped in the library. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
