 That's a consequence of using a shlibs.local file; with the
 debian/control or debian/rules approach we would have an easier time
 adapting, no?

 It was actually my suggestion; I understand better why you want strict
 deps (I didn't take the Marillat use case into account, but just the
 internal ABI breakage), and I guess it's a valid use case.  Are you
 certain we want strict deps on the Debian revision all the time?  I
 understand that we might change ABI with a patch, but most of the time
 we wont.
