Uh, no.
You can't randomly change the soname of a library without also changing
the package's name. If libexpat1 provides libexpat.so.0, and you want
to provide libexpat.so.1, you _must_ rename the package.
Right now, afaict, someone should be uploading libexpat1 with a symlink
from libexpat.so.0 to libexpat.so.1 with the urgency in the changelog
set to high to make everything unbroken again.
Cheers,
