Sorry, I meant to reply to this ages ago.

I don't think this should be committed.  I thought if you were going to
make 4.3 changes you were going to do them separately.

Also, I'm not happy with these changes.  I'd want the package to not
build (or at least not usefully ship a library) if the soname changed
and noone noticed.  I don't think the packaging should ever encompass
more than one version of the library as there may be specific things
that are needed for each.  I guess I'm just not comfortable with the way
this has been done.  If you can persuade me it's technically the right
thing to do (or others can) then I'm happy to accept it but I think, if
you want changes like these, then unless you talk about them first then
they should go in a separate branch.

Simon.
