It is against debian policy to invent a new version number on behalf
of upstream; it should really be 3.0b-3.1 for an NMU, or 3.0b-4 if you
submit the patch to me and I upload the package.
It is okay if the soname does not match the major version number;
there are other examples of this, like libgnutls13 (1.4.1-1).
So therefore, debian/rules must change one way or another.
The soname libopentoken.so.4 is fine, but you may also want to
consider libopentoken.so.3.0b, which requires smaller changes to
debian/rules. It's up to you.

No longer necessary, as I don't need a sponsor anymore :) but, if you
want to adopt the package, you can add your sponsor's address here. I
can be your sponsor for this package if you want.

Please update to 3.7.2 with no changes required, and say so in the
changelog.

Sorry I forgot to tell you that earlier but gnat-4.1 supports more
architectures than gnat 3.15p did; so please change that to:
Architecture: amd64 hppa i386 ia64 kfreebsd-i386 powerpc sparc

Should depend on the proper library package, with a name matching the
soname: so either libopentoken4, or libopentoken3.0b depending on your
choice.

Good. These are the files from the -dev package, but you seem to be
missing the actual library.
Also, if you choose libopentoken.so.3.0b for the soname you'll need to
reflect the changes there; you should see either:
/usr/bin/libopentoken.a
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so -> libopentoken.so.4.0
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so.4 -> libopentoken.so.4.0 *
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so.4.0
or
/usr/bin/libopentoken.a
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so -> libopentoken.so.3.0b
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so.3.0b *
(before the upload, it is:
/usr/bin/libopentoken.a
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so -> libopentoken.so.3.0b
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so.3 -> libopentoken.so.3.0b *
/usr/bin/libopentoken.so.3.0b
The important thing is that programs linked against the library must
find a file with the same name as the soname, I have marked them with
* above)

OK, it's up to you. You can either:
- submit the patch to me and I'll upload in August, after returning
from vacation (must be version 3.0b-4)
- ask your sponsor to upload an NMU (add his email address to the
Uploaders: field) (must be version 3.0b-3.1)
- adopt the package (change the maintainer's address to your
address, and add your sponsor's address to Uploaders; I can be your
sponsor for this package, too) (must be version 3.0b-4).
