Hi,

libnl3 upstream enabled symbol versioning a longer time ago. In 
Debian this was temporarily reverted. With libnl3 3.11.0 I want us 
to get back in sync with upstream in this regard.

I've done a manual check on direct reverse dependencies, and the 
change appears ABI-compatible. Programs linked against old libnl3 
binary packages apparently pick up the symbols just fine.

The other way round, programs linked against libnl3 libs from 
3.11.0-1 then require the full (with version) symbol name.

While theoretically there is no rebuild of the r-deps needed, I 
think we should still rebuild them. I've done a local test rebuild 
of all direct r-deps (*) and they build fine.

(*) except ceph, for disk space reasons.

Chris
