Because libusbguard0 doest not provide a stable ABI and the two versions
are not backwards compatible. The package installed the library in
/usr/lib/<triplet>/usbguard, to mark it internal, but I forgot to
declare a versioned depends for the applet.

Mhm, that way libusbguard0 can not be installed unless
usbguard-applet-qt is manually removed, but I guess thats better than to
have a non working applet installed... Would a dist-upgrade
automatically remove the usbguard-applet-qt package in that case?

thanks,
