This would work at packaging time, not at install time. Basically what we need 
is to identify incompatible library changes (besides never installing with an 
older version than build with) some way. We could use a LIBVER variable for 
that. It would be similar in function as SLOT, but it would not say anything 
about ability to coexist. It just says something about library conflicts.

Binary packages are dirty ;-) Anyone some idea what debian does to this 
respect?
