I've asked multipath-tools upstream before making the change in 2023,
and to paraphrase them: there are no ABI stability guarantees.

In the RPM world, they use some RPM feature to avoid breakage. But in
the DEB/APT world, we don't have that and have to rely on the .so-names
changing.

IIRC the symbols also change on every multipath-tools release, as they
are namespaced into a versioned namespace, which changes on every
release.

So from my PoV: I don't see how we can provide ABI stability between
different packages.
