I did send upstream mail pointing out the issue and asking for an
soname change, but I haven't heard anything back. I'll upload a new
package with a Debian-specific soname as soon as I can get to a
development machine with the relevant hardware, probably tomorrow...

(The other motivation for uploading a new libsensors1 is to Conflict:
with the subset of these packages that have linked against the
libsensors1 that doesn't work; if I'm not going to do that, then I
should probably ask that libsensors1 be removed.)
