I suppose you'd also want to stop passing -V to dh_makeshlibs, since the symbol versioning should take care of setting the version. -V without any parameters is evil anyway. Although, what happens if a package is built against the library on a buildd that doesn't have the new dpkg-dev yet? It would generate a wrong unversioned dependency in this case. -- see shy jo
