| If libd1 is uploaded and only one of proga and libv0 is recompiled with
| libd1 this results in proga linked with both so-versions of the library. 
| I remember problems with two so-versions of libpng, later with
| libssl0.9.6 and libssl0.9.7, and with libvorbis (at the time of the big
| libvorbis breakage [1]

This is solved with versioned symbols.

| There are problems with so-name changes (I remember one library having
| 5 (five) different so-names within one month), but they should be 
| solvable via communication between maintainers.

libgal(23 at the moment), I'd think?
