Can you not patch in a SONAME change in that case? There is precedent
for doing this where upstream doesn't bump SONAMEs appropriately -
openssl, and I think it's the right thing to do (where educating
upstream fails, obviously).
I could have, but I choose not to as having every distro invent its own
soname is not really helpful as some people still distribute binaries
from time to time, I admit that chances are small such a binary will
use ImageMagick libs but still.
Also the ABI breakage only hits a few not often used functions.
