hmm, after closer inspection ofthe output of dpkg-gensymbols, it seems
like this was a false alarm.

the libgmerlin0.symbols files contains a number of "MISSING" stanzas,
which seem to have been merely updated:

-#MISSING: 0.4.3# (optional)pixbuf_destroy_notify at Base 0.4.1
+#MISSING: 1.0.0~dfsg-1# (optional)pixbuf_destroy_notify at Base 0.4.1

it seems like all MISSING stanzas for 1.0.0 have also been there for 0.4.3

the rest of the changes are only additions.

so i guess we are still save.


but then: how come that there are MISSING stanzas at all?
does this indicate, that at some point in the past, the library API did
change, and it was ignored?

ah, i found the libpkg-guide.
and that the soname should change in the build-process (automake)
