You *should* be claiming that regardless.  The API between dapl-1 and
dapl-2 changed, some of which is fixed simply be recompiling and some of
which requires actual code changes.  Just because the library name is
the same doesn't mean that code built and compiled against dapl-1 could
or should attempt to run against dapl-2 (unless I'm wrong here, Arlin
should really speak to this issue...if the dapl-2 libraries provide
backward compatible symbols via so symbol versions, then it might be
possible for a dapl-1 program to run against the dapl-2 library, but
then that would beg the question of why we are still distributing dapl-1
libraries in a separate package, so I'm guessing there is not a back
compatible layer in the dapl-2 library).

You are correct. dapl-1 programs cannot run against dapl-2. That is why both v1 and v2 packages are provided. We have to support existing v1 applications while providing a transition path to v2.
