aubio 0.4 is not API-compatible with the previous 0.3 release. aubio
upstream currently lists both APIs as stable.

Ardour upstream has tightened the dependency to aubio 0.3.2, and it
certainly needs time to incorporate the API changes. For ardour2 (bug
#733968), this might never happen unless backported.

There's not even a document on aubio's website how to migrate from 0.3
to 0.4.


Long story short: that's too much for packaging, this is serious
upstream work. Since Ardour upstream has decided to stick with 0.3.2, I
suggest we re-introduce libaubio-0.3.x in Debian until the remaining
users have all been transitioned to aubio4 (read: as soon as the
r-depends count of aubio3 drops to zero).


To be clear: I'm talking about co-existence of both aubio versions in
Debian, at least temporary.
