Hi debian-mentors, I'm working on packaging [vpp] which installs a number of shared libraries that may want to be used by other Debian packages in the future. [vpp]: https://github.com/fdio/vpp/ However upstream just uses their release version in SONAME which doesn't seem very useful. Is it good form to override this in the Debian package or should I conform to what upstream is doing and deal with the fallout once a reverse dependency is actually introduced and a new release comes out? I've read the shared library policy section but since this is my first library package I'm not sure I fully get all the implications of these choices. Thanks, --Daniel
