Please take a look at kde-workspace-dev

It includes:

/usr/lib/libkdecorations.so -> libkdecorations.so.4abi2
/usr/lib/libkdecorations.so.4.14.2.abi2
/usr/lib/libkdecorations.so.4abi2 -> libkdecorations.so.4.14.2.abi2

objdump -p /usr/lib/libkdecorations.so |grep SONAME
  SONAME               libkdecorations.so.4abi2

I am no expert in this field but this may be the solution to my problem with 
another library changing both ABI and API within minor version. And it seems 
to cause no conflict with upstream.
