Before the official release, there's probably no guarantees about ABI
stability. Couldn't we end up in a difficult situation if we package a
pre-release of 2.5 with libruby-2.5.so.2.5, and the ABI later changes in
an incompatible way?

(Maybe that's a risk that we should take anyway, and deal with it with
binNMUs if it happens)
