If the API is bumped whenever the generated headers would become
incompatible, this should be fine.

In any case, the headers included in libphonenumber-dev have also been
generated against the new version of protobuf. So the remaining build
issues should be fixed. However, libphonenumber-dev's dependency on
libprotobuf-dev is not tight enough. Hence I'm reassigning this bug to
libphonenumber-dev to tighten the dependency.
