Ok, i will check that.

I tried to use git-dch but (since my first debian package) are somewhat clueless about the various tools. I will fix that.
 
Actually i took this package from jsprickerhoff.

I have written in the wiki of my fork:
git-buildpackage --git-no-sign-tags --git-ignore-new -us -uc
and it builds packages for me.

Because upstream does not add a SONAME and jsprickerhoff had it in its openni package (from which i started) and suggested to me to add this patch also.
 
Then for the debian-develop branch (2.3.x) they changed one api incompatible so i incremented it from the debian-master branch (2.0.x - 2.2.x).
 
I think he discussed with upstream to add the soname version id but without success.
