as laid out in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html
the use of SONAME as part of the package name is recommended and best
practice. Using online libspandsp without SONAME would mean breaking all
subsequent packages with each new API/ABI without having a proper transition
mechanism. The common reference place therefore is libspandsp-dev to rebuild
all reverse depends properly and have them pick up the new change if any.
