perhaps a soname change should not be considered a "real" package name
change and be accepted automatically? this should not be too difficult
to implement and could include other checks as well (like that the
copyright didn't change or that the diff is under a given size). so the
question (to ftpmaster) is: have there been any cases yet where such a
solution would have done something wrong?
