Please rename it to libaqbanking-dev. Unfortunately a

Provides: libaqbanking34-dev

is not going to help us, because all the build-dependencies on
libaqbanking34-dev are versioned. So the rdeps are going to need sourceful
uploads to update the b-d. But they were going to need that anyway had you
changed it to libaqbanking35-dev, so no big deal.

The fact that libaqbanking34-dev provides libaqbanking-dev is not a problem at all.

BTW do the rdeps build against the new version? Or do they need code changes?

A tracker will be automatically created once the package clears NEW.

Let us know once the package has been accepted in experimental.
