Why weren't the libsaga-* packages upgraded along with saga? You have
gotten version 2.3.1+dfsg-2 for all of the saga packages.

A stricter dependency from saga on the libsaga-* packages may be
worthwhile. With symbols files (which saga doesn't use (yet)) the
version requirement will only be on the upstream version which won't
solve this problem, using dh_makeshlibs -V will have a much stricter
dependency which should solve this issue.

This issue doesn't seem to be a bug in saga per se though, more the
results of an incomplete upgrade.

Kind Regards,
