=3E =3E I disagree with you=2C Debian should enforce API compatibility ev=

=3E You are saying than the Debian package should not be API compatible w=
ith
=3E the upstream code and the other distributions=3F

I think other distributions also want an stable API so they=27ll use the
Debian release instead upstream to be compatible (or Debian should use
API stable release from other distributions if available)=2E

So=2C if upstream wants to break the API with no good reason then Debian
should use an stable API=2E
