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.
