qpidd-msgstore is also in testing.  Does the earlier version not use the
broker library?

It's shipped in a public library directory and versioned so yes it

Assuming the SONAMEs come from upstream, it'd be worth discussing the
issue with them so we don't end up carrying a Debian-specific change for
it.
