This will work, but it will stop the ability to rebuild the packages and
migrate thereby to a new API.
I dont know which is more important, stable testing dependencies or dynamic
evolution of the package pool. Personally I think the later is, what testing
is for.
But: it would be good to detect such a mismatch on build time, for
backporting purpose. One good thing would be a static detection of lib
incompatibilities in the rules file.
How about dh_shlibdeps, is it detecting this (and failing?). Hmm.. actually
I think this was not the problem in the current example.
