I have specifically put this in trunk as it is good for both 4.2 , 4.4 and
whatever else will come.
The comment even says it is done like the other libs.
So these are not 4.3 specific changes.

Also, I'm not happy with these changes.  I'd want the package to not

It installs all .so.X.Y libraries from the package currently being built. If
that contains
more than one soname version for the same library we're in bigger trouble
anyway.
So with the same debian rule we are able to build all upcoming versions of
xfce libs.
and not just the one which has soname 2.0.0 for instance.
