Package: libmetacity0
Version: 1:2.14.5-4
Severity: important

According to this entry in compiz changelog:

  * compiz-gtk needs to conflict with libmetacity0 (<< 1:2.15.21) because of
    an incompatible ABI change. This should really be fixed in libmetacity. A
    shlibs bump should do the trick. (Closes: 425631)

libmetacity0 changed its abi in 2.15.21 without increasing the soname.  Please,
could you bump the soname now?

Although it's a bit late, this is necessary in order to backport compiz to
etch.  It would allow compiz to drop this hack and thus be usable with older
versions of libmetacity0.
