Then mail the other distro maintainers and upstream, they will listen to you and it is actually probable you will not have much trouble with the other distros. Upstream might want a foolproof way to detect whether it should version symbols or not (I suspect that when using libtool this is a no brainer: tell libtool to version, and if the platform can't version, it should simply ignore the request). Debian can and often does lead the other distros re. versioned symbols. It is very troubling that openssl is still unversioned, and thus we have to transition a lot of packages every time a new openssl hits the archive, OR risk segfaults everywhere. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
