Fwd: OpenNI debs

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

 From my earlier conversation about Cosimo about these packages, it  
gets worse.  They don't even set the SONAME:

>> Debian wants /usr/lib/libOpenNI.so to be a link to
>> /usr/lib/libOpenNI.so.0.0.0 (or whatever the SONAME and major  
>> version is).
>>
>> First problem, the .so files are created not versioned.
>> Second problem, I do not see any SONAME with objdump, but I might be
>> mistaken I gave a quick look at it.
>>
> I propose to upload them to experimental until we sort out the SONAME
> problem with upstream, either understand if they want to add a  
> SONAME or
> it's actually their intention to leave the library without (which  
> would
> be difficult for us to keep compatibility when API/ABI changes).
