Dear James and Andreas, I was still unsure on the versionning scheme, so I decided to upload a package called libstaden-read0 because with the libtoolisation patch I applied, the soname version is 0.0.0. This leaves room for uploading new packages with name libstaden-read1 or libstaden-read-1.11, once I can figure out how to instruct the build system to do the right thing. Can sonames have a decimal part, like libstaden-read.so.1.11?
