soversion for shared libraries?

Hi folks,

Maybe I haven't seen it, but IMHO the Debian policy should
be more precise about _which_ soversion to use for shared
libraries.

Can we use our own soversion, ignoring other Linux distros
and the rest of the world? Is upstream always right?

Of course this affects portability on binary level. In my case
I stumbled over libpcre3.


Regards

Harri

Bug#380692: section on invoke-rc.d doesn't make sense

 The program must use invoke-rc.d to invoke the /etc/init.d/* initscripts,
 instead of calling them directly. 
 
 What does the program refer to in the second paragraph?  

It should be package, that is, the package maintainer scripts.

This isn't too much of a policy issue. It's about 

1. backwards compatibility within Debian

2. cross-distribution binary-compatibility

3. upstream compatibility 

where 2 and 3 are usually less important than 1, since we don't
pretend to be binary-compatible with other distributions.

regards,
junichi
