Is it worth repackaging libopenal0 for more recent releases? Can
libopenal0 and libopenal1 live alongside each other?

Status in “openal-soft” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix

Bug description:
Binary package hint: libopenal1
Version: 1:1.3.253-4ubuntu1

The libopenal1 binary package in Intrepid replaces the old libopenal0a binary 
package from Hardy, Gutsy etc. libopenal0a created /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0, but 
the new libopenal1 package does not (it creates /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 
instead).

This breaks some third-party binaries, eg X-Plane (http://www.x-plane.com/).

Suggested fix:
The libopenal1 binary package should create a symbolic link from 
/usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1

Alternative fix:
Retain the old libopenal0a binary package in Intrepid, in addition to the new 
libopenal1 binary package. And change the libopenal1 package so that it does 
not replace libopenal0 or libopenal0a.
