This will break updates when not all packages are rebuild at the same
time (eg: cooker).

The real bug is the _abuse_ of major bumping upstream for no good
reasons.

It's obvious they're _NOT_ changing the _ABI_ when releasing a
security update and thus bumping the so major is an abuse.

It's just gratuitous ABI breakage. If only they would enable just
backporting the small security patches... :-(

Me wonders why we don't got the debian way for firefox...
