Two comments. First, I'm not sure if you're aware that waiting for an
ACK from the release team before uploading soname bumping packages is
preferred. If you're aware and you thought it was okay, well, okay. ;-)

Second, and more importantly, I actually see no reason for the SONAME
bump! Meaning, that as far as I can see, the list of symbols between
libphysfs-1.0.so.1 and libphysfs-1.0.so.0 is identical. Do you know if
there has been some other ABI change that does not entail symbols, and
which would make the bump needed? If not, we'll need to talk about
reverting it. It'd be great if you could check.

Cheers,
