Sorry, but there seems to be some misunderstanding. As this library
obviously has no proper soname, the right fix is to suffix the library
with -<version>. This is how it is written in the policy/debian library
packaging guidelines.

yes then that is why you would need to introduce a new package
liblpsolve-5.5.0.13.

This does not help. When a project requires liblpsolve it still cannot
use it (as abi changes are not dealt with). So you could as well remove
the .so file an integrate liblpsolve statically.
