Having the SOVERSION in the file and package names is a good thing, it allows for sane transition handling. > Before that, does this allow to bypass the new queue for each version of > OTB release? Avoiding the NEW queue should not be a goal. The delays it causes are a bit unfortunate, but the process serves an essential role. > IMHO, ITK packaging should have used it and split libraries into different > packages.

Just putting all the libraries in a libotb package will avoid the new queue too, but doesn't generate sane dependencies for packages requiring any of the libraries therein.
