I know it is not a perfect solution but as upstream developer, I am
using the version provided by Debian. 
When I am not happy by a version available in Debian, I either report a
bug asking for a more recent version (which won't work for hibernate but
which could work with JBoss).

On the other side, when a new upstream release is uploaded into Debian,
I will update my software (when it is needed).
If the upstream of a library is regularly breaking the ABI (which is not
uncommon), I will add a check in the build system to make sure that I
will find the exact version of the upstream library I am using (it does
help also other distributions).
