So, you already have SOMAJOR and SOMINOR in debian/rules. Given that this info is duplicated in debian/*.links (and outdated there), please find attached a proposed patch which does the following: - it gets rid of debian/*.links; - it introduces debian/*.links.in, replacing the hardcoded values with tokens; - those tokens are replaced with SOMAJOR/SOMINOR values through a sed call in the configure step; to make it obvious those files are generated, a comment is added at the top of the generated file; - those generated files are cleaned up again in the clean target. That's really a quick and dirty hack I could think of while wondering how you could keep that in sync. This may have bad side-effects. But that might prevent you from running into similar troubles in the future. I've also checked that my initial slang2-using build was now picking the shared library properly. Mraw, KiBi.
