Usually we handle these cases by renaming the binary package by
attaching a Debian specific suffix such as deb1 or d1 without changing
the SONAME. As the file name of the shared library does not change,
don't forget the proper Breaks+Replaces. For an example, see luabind.
The solution is not ideal due to potential issues during upgrades, but
if upstream fixes the SONAME before the release of trixie, we shouldn'T
have a problem.
