The comments were saying it causing a burden on co-maintainers and keeping them away. That is why I asked. if the packaging need to be redone. I must know. I did seperate because it can be helpful in others. I also listed that this method was using in qgis for example. which I think has a similar situation. I was thinking if the SONAME have simply the major version instead of major.minor that might be a good. I can check with this with upstream if that is feasible. > > The NEW queue is not a bad thing that one should optimize its packaging > for to avoid. > Okay.
