Okay so what would you think of installing the headers and .pc files for the "previous ABI" slotted packages? It would extend a bit more the non-latest, but wouldn't stray far from what we've done up to now, and we'd have a proof of concept to show upstream how to implements the fallbacks... then we could probably talk some of them to do just that. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
