 There's a new upstream version which starts an other transition.
Created a separate library package with the actual SONAME naming.
Tested that partclone and testdisk build fine with it and both picks
up the correct (real) dependency (binNMUs will be fine).
The libraries will be co-installable and I don't use conflicts with
the old ones to help smooth transitions.

Before I do the upload[1], I'm open for any critics.
