The method indicated in the blog post requires action by each
maintainer of a shared library rather than setting up a service to
check ABIs of each package.
AFAICT there hasn't been interest from any Debian folks for setting up
a Debian-specific central service to check ABIs. If anyone wants to do
that, mole is probably the right framework to do archive-wide QA
checks from.

abi-compliance-checker upstream runs a central service for checking
ABIs, APIs etc for upstream projects:
