Besides bumping the library soname to libprotobuf5 (we already libprotobuf2,
....3, and ...4) and adding the line to debian/libprotobuf-dev.install so
that the new pkg-config files get added, is there anything that
debian-release wants me to do?
According to a quick 'rdepends' only one other package is currently using
this:
~> apt-cache rdepends libprotobuf4
libprotobuf4
Reverse Depends:
protobuf-c-compiler
mumble
mumble-server
protobuf-compiler
libprotoc4
libprotobuf-dev
protobuf-c-compiler

So we should be fine, right?
