I tried to stay away from this subject as long as I could ;-), but once 
you called me by name, here's my opinion: I think that the importance of 
soname/soversion is overstated.
This is probably because I prefer static linking over shared libraries 
whenever possible. Frankly, I consider shared libraries to be a source 
of problems, not a solution to any valid problem today, as they should be.

(now you know why I tried to stay away from the discussion ;-) )

Having said that, I recognize that there is a place for different 
opinions on this subject.
I also trust Mateusz as a package manager and I am sure that whatever 
policy will be chosen for the project, it will be good.
