Sorry Steve, I should have been more specific. Assuming there is no
change in Debian's status, do you think it's appropriate for Ubuntu to
create a compat symlink in the meantime, and if so, appropriate for SRU
to 24.04?

Personally I'm inclined to say that it doesn't make sense if the soname
ends up moving forward rather than backwards, and we don't know about
that status yet. Because normally for a soname bump we expect third
parties to link to the new name, and we do not expect to provide
backwards ABI compatibility across releases.

If the soname does actually go back, then perhaps it makes sense as an
exception to provide a compat symlink in some form, but I'd prefer not
to "kick the can down the road" if it going backwards doesn't actually
end up happening.
