Hm. That sounds a bit overly strict. We could do that, but wouldn't be
bumping the SHLIBS version be sufficient?

I have to admit that I didn't check the SHLIBS version because it was
'just' an upload to experimental, and not many packages actually link
against that version. I wanted to check that more thouroughly after
lenny, but it seems I should do that also for uploads to
experimental.. hmm.
