Hi folks,

Maybe I haven't seen it, but IMHO the Debian policy should
be more precise about _which_ soversion to use for shared
libraries.

Can we use our own soversion, ignoring other Linux distros
and the rest of the world? Is upstream always right?

Of course this affects portability on binary level. In my case
I stumbled over libpcre3.


Regards

Harri
