Excellent!  Very keen to have ubuntu and debian working off the same code 
base, with coordinated effort rather than divergent effort.

Well the current situation is like this:
hoary -> libkexif0, libkexif0-dev
breezy -> libkexif1, libkexif1-dev
dapper -> libkexif1-dev, libkexif1c2
Sarge -> libkexif1, libkexif1-dev
Etch/ Sid -> libkexif1-dev, libkexif1c2

I suppose if we can come up with a schema which doesn't conflict with any of 
the above then it should be good to go.  But not that libkexif1 is not an 
option as it has already been used by breezy & sarge, even though that is 
what the correct solution should be.
