[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#719742: libquazip0: Provide libquazip.so.1 please

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: libquazip0
Version: 0.5.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

the patch multiarch_version.patch (together with debian/rules) changes
upstream's soname from 1.0.0 to 0.5.1. While generally there is no
guarantee that binaries work cross-distro, on the other hand there is
little reason to deviate from upstream's versioning[1] and so break
cross-distro binaries.

Unless there is a good reason I missed I think the right approach here
is:

 - drop changing the soname
 - rename libquazip0-dev to libquazip-dev with a Provides:
   libquazip0-dev.
 - rename libquazip0 to libquazip1 with a Provides: libquazip0 and let
   it include a symlink libquazip.so.0 -> libquazip.so.1

A transitional package shouldn't be necessary as there are no versioned
depends in the archive.

Best regards
Uwe

[1] Well, if upstream has no clue about library versioning there is a
good reason to deviate.
