Bug#791067: Is this a general ban on soname bumps with gcc5 transitions, or just hdf5?



New gcc5 transition notices are still being sent out with the "Such a change can be avoided, if you have a soversion bump and you upload this version instead of the renamed package" wording (e.g. simgear https://bugs.debian.org/797944 ); is this a mistake, or is hdf5 special because it has both C and C++ interfaces (so a soname bump would drag in C rdeps that wouldn't otherwise be affected) and a fairly large number of rdeps?
