IIRC, API changes should be quite easy to address, renaming the -dev
package should be avoided as it introduces a much higher maintenance
burden on top of reverse-dependencies, which have to be transitioned
with sourceful uploads.

I think the problem could be better addressed by renaming the library
package to libfreerdp1d0, and make sure it builds on all architectures
(apparently, it fails in several architectures due to missing symbols,
another clue of a potential ABI break).

Cheers,
