As has already been pointed out, with tiff, the two versions were almost
entirely API compatible.  Also, tiff didn't have versioned symbols
before the change, but upstream added versioned symbols to support the
change. Even adding version symbols by slapping a version on every
symbol is better than not having versioned symbols, and that turns out
to be a really easy change. You can probably convince upstream to do it
since none of the major Linux distributions are likely to be willing to
take this without them. At least that was the experience I had with
tiff.
