There was a discussion about this on debian-project a week (or two) ago.
Basically it seems that most of them weren't aware of how to formulate
version numbers that wouldn't conflict with the debian way of doing
things.
A result of that was the realisation that libraries should be kept
`distinct' or `different'. It may take a while until the result gets
implemented though.
