Please don't just add a random SONAME. Library versions with different
ABIs must have different SONAMEs so if you add a custom SONAME you will
need to change it each time the ABI changes, with an appropriate
package
transition. You may probably want to put the package version or the
date
into the SONAME like e.g. libv8 does. Your other option, apart from the
obvious one (waiting for the issue to be fixed upstream), would be
comparing ABIs and maintaining the ABI yourself but I wouldn't
recommend
it.
