 You probably know what you're doing, but did the API change so much
 that all packages will need a sourceful transition?  And even so,
 wouldn't it be preferable to fix them to build-dep on a versionned
 libloudmouth1-dev?  Perhaps the API is stable enough now that we can
 keep some libloudmouth-dev now?  Some -dev packages were renamed
 needlessly in the past, so I prefer double checking here.  :)

 I had various discussions with people who were against all forms of
 -dev package renaming, except when multiple versions are to be kept
 together in the archive.

 Same here, perhaps we can go with "loudmouth-dbg" and push all symbols
 in it; this would save us from updating rdeps such as gnome-dbg
 regularly?
