I did a test build and it seems like it's not quite that simple. Since the library is installed in /usr/lib, that basically means we need a new libracket3m-6.11 package, and probably a -dev package as well. I'm not sure yet how I feel about doing a library transition for every racket upstream version. Presumably not many packages will depend on it, but formally a transition will still be required (the problem being racket is using the version as an SONAME). d
