Thanks for the hint but I admit I'm not fully sure what exactly needs to
be done to get the changed SONAME in the case of dcmtk.  I guess I need
to tweak the cmake files somehow - but how?

The only thing I understand from your contribution is that the name
of the binary package should be

     libdcmtk3ab1

rather than

     libdcmtk4

but I'm not even sure about this. 

Kind regards

        Andreas.
