Hi Torsten,

I'm in process of updating lensfun in Debian.

Thanks for this, this is basically what blocked me in updating lensfun
one year ago (and then ran out of free time for this).

Hm, on a Debian system you don't have multiple versions of lesfun
though, i.e. only one liblensfunN, so that version has just one version
of the data; hence, if I make liblensfunN x.y.z depend on
liblensfun-data >= x.y.z, that should ensure the library has the data it
needs, no?
From what I see, changes in the data of a library (as long as those data
are accessed by the library and only by that) should not matter to users
of the library itself.

Am I missing something?
