This is why I'd like to see the versioning for *distribution-provided*
libraries in the LSB. Asking the vendors to version their libs will cause
screwups, of course.
We should at the very least make sure core libs (anything used by a nss
module, and anything used by core GNOME, KDE and X11 libraries) are either
versioned, or extremely unlikely to be linked twice...

Make it 1 month. We are trying to put an end to this "no NMU even if I am
not doing my work" mentality. And recompiling a package is a very trivial
NMU...
