And? The soname version isn't present in the package name (rather soname version+1). I don't see what the policy violation is. As you quoted, the name as to change when the shared object version changes. And such a change didn't seem to have happened.

The only issue I can see here is a cosmetic one, and gratuitously renaming packages sounds a bad idea to me. -- Cyril Brulebois
