A binNMU is not going to change the package name, which is what that bug
requests.

Apparently, there was no package name change for the *previous* C++ ABI
change either.  This is very problematic for partial upgrades from sarge and
is also likely to affect partial upgrades *from* etch, which are both
release-critical targets.  Since qgis provides both shlibs for libqgis.so.0
and a -dev package, it seems clear that the intention is to allow packages
to link against this library, in which case the lib must be handled
according to Debian library policy.

This probably means splitting libqgis0 out as a separate package.

Cheers,
