Package: libconsole-bridge0.2v5
Followup-For: Bug #811498

Hey Jochen:

Thanks for the report. You are right, I broke the new update. My
intention was not to change package and library name since upstream
did not change the API/ABI (I'm working with them to keep a sane
semantic versioning scheme). I did that for the package but not for
the library, sorry for that.

I believe that we can workaround on this problem by creating a symlink
from libconsole_bridge.so.0.3 to a new libconsole_bridge.so.0.2. This
way we can respect the upstream release as-it but keep the dependencies
stable in debian which depends on the 0.2 lib.

Jochen, do you see any problem with this? or do you have a better idea
to solve the situation keeping in mind that there is no ABI/API change
in the new 0.3.0 version?

Thanks.
