If there're qt3 applications using your library, I think you should build extra -qt4 packages and keep the qt3 packages until all people migrated to qt4. hal:~# apt-cache rdepends libsoqt20 libsoqt20 Reverse Depends: libsoqt-dev makes it look like there is no other package using the library now, so it should not be a big problem to move from qt3 to qt4. But I think even then you should add a suffix to make your change obvious. But the real question is: how long will qt3 stay in Debian, and how many people would like to use your library with it in the future - so you probably need to build qt3 and qt4 versions of it anyway.
