Whoops, looks like I am contradicting myself :-)

Reason I suspect upstream-only tracking is wrong is that also Debian 
changes can change ABI - either deliberately or accidentally.  Most 
notibly by adding/changing patches, but possibly also through changes to 
build-dependencies.

I thought with node-expat I had mimiced the dpkg-shlibdeps resolved hint 
for libnodeXX but I see now that I did that wrong: Currently that 
dependency is upstream-only, but that is because the current 
relationship is for a -1 release where the Debian part is stripped.

I now issued a new node-expat with an improved logic.  Thanks!
