Dear fellow rrdtool maintainer

rrdtool 1.6.0 is out. I started to package it in experimental.

Upstream bumped soname from 4 to 8. So it makes sense to transition from
librrd4 to librrd8.
However, no symbol was actually added (in Debian). So it may
theoretically be possible to skip that transition. But this would mean
loosing sync with upstream numbering scheme, and it would ultimately
bring confusion.
So I guess it make sense to make this transition. What do you think?

Here is the list of impacted packages:
