Either the soname should be libtorrent.so.11, or you might 
want to rename libtorrent-0.11.0 to libtorrent-0.10.0 or something.

If the soname really is and should be libtorrent.so.10, you want to name
it libtorrent-rakshasa10 or something.  But it should have the 10 in it.

you want to reflect that in the name of the package.
