I don't understand this report.  What do upstream compatibility layers have
to do with you renaming your -dev package?

In practice, there seems to be no reason not to make this change, since
upstart's pkgconfig usage is only compatible with libjson-c-dev and not with
older versions of libjson0-dev.  But I don't see any reason that this should
be tied to an upstream release, as the compatibility layer in place comes
from the Debian packaging.
