In an attempt to fix https://bugs.debian.org/1092247 a patch [1] was
added to bump the soname from 2 to 3. However, this patch is unique to
Debian and is not applied upstream.
I don't think this is how Debian handles sonames. It is possible for
instance to rename the library binary package without actually bumping
the soname. This still causes a library transition so everything is
rebuilt against the new binary package. This was done on a very large
scale with last year's 64-bit transition. See all the packages with
t64 suffixes.
I do see that you are in communication with upstream at
https://codeberg.org/gumbo-parser/gumbo-parser/issues/3 so one way
forward is to urge upstream to take your patch which you have marked
as "Forwarded: not-needed". I think ideally they would then do a new
release which you would package for Debian.

Thank you,

The SOVERSION bump comes from upstream. What that patch is doing is making
dlopen load the new version, as upstream only loads the unversioned library
(.so), which we only ship in the -dev package.
I'm thus closing the bug.
Cheers,
Emilio
