I disagree for two reasons.

First, because upstream has released 0.6, not 0.6.0, and we should not 
second-guess their versioning scheme. I am all against introducing 
artificial version numbers to circumvent packaging issues. This just 
causes confusion.

Second, because we have already released a 0.6-1 package and we expect 
the library interface to be stable from this very release on, not any 
other, and we express this via the shlibs information. In other words, 
what builds against 0.6-1 should depend on at least 0.6-1 (or a 
backport of it).
