The upstream currently produces libopen62541.so.1.
In order to allow the parallel installation of multiple versions it is better
to have libopen62541.so.1.4.
So a future version v1.5 gets libopen62541.so.1.5.
The installed shared objects (and symbolic links) are now as follows.
libopen62541.so -> libopen62541.so.1.4
libopen62541.so.1.4 -> libopen62541.so.1.4.1
libopen62541.so.1.4.1
If this is acceptable we will change the upstream to always produce
libopen62541.so.{major}.{minor} as the SONAME.
This will take a few weeks until the next upstream minor release. The
Debian-specific patch can then be removed.
If you prefer a different SONAME and filename convention, just let me know.
