Hi Aron,

Would like to know if such steps would help resolve the issue better:
  - revert to a previous version which does not have API/ABI breakage
  - apply/port security patches on a best effort basis
  - help upstream to check and fix API/ABI changes

I think all three would help, where the first one is the quickest one to get things moving again. Given the severity of the security issue mentioned in the changelog I think you could even consider ignoring item number two for now, but maybe you mean going forward.

Or do you have any recommendations?

There is the option to do a Debian specific SONAME bump, but if the break was not intended and might get reverted that's probably a bad idea. And if the changes are here to stay, upstream should bump SONAME themselves.
