There are times in the past (I'm thinking c++ abi transitions) wher.e
we've changed the name of the shlibs package but not of the soname.
So you end up overriding lintian because your shlib package does not
match the soname exactly.
You need to update your symbols or shlibs files to depend on the new
shlibs package name.
It complicates the Debian packaging a bit, and you probably end up
carrying the complexity,
but you don't need to diverge from soname, and if you change build
options in the future you may need to do it again.
Would an option like this work for both sides?
