From the description available I'm confused as to why it would require multiple ABI breaks (presumably, as there's multiple package name changes) in order to resolve.
Ok, let me describe everything more in detail. I am part of the FSO packaging team but one of the core upstream developers too. The bug described above occurred right after we did some ABI related changes in 0.11. Due to the lack of time and the fact that we doesn't guarantee any ABI yet (but bumping ABI version with each release in respect of distributions like debian) we reverted the relevant changes, verified that the bug is fixed and did the bug fix release.
FSO is developed as a stack. All three mentioned components (libfsotransport, libgsm0710mux and fsogsmd) are part of the stack and all parts of the stack are released together omitting bug fixing releases. It's possible for users to use libraries of our stack in other programs but they have to live with the fact that there is no stable ABI yet.
I hope that helps to take your decision. If you need any more information please tell me.
