I know you guys are pro-Debian and everything, but is this really a step
*forward* for compatibility? The good thing about RedHat requiring that
only one version of a major library be installed is that everything is
guaranteed to work because there's only one library version you have to
care about. (This probably wasn't a forethought, but a weakness in rpm
or their original packaging system/naming scheme).
Now, I know it does explicit linking to a particular lib version, but in
the case where it doesn't... which package is to provide the symlink?
Apparently it would be the last package you installed, but it would be
better to have it be the latest version of the library that you have
installed.
