I can see the SONAME in libc4core0_0.2.11-2 has changed from
libc4core.so.0 to libc4core.so.0.2.11, great!

However, the name of the binary package libc4core0 still needs to be changed.

I'll quote again from Debian policy 8.1 Shared Libraries [1] (emphasis mine):

The run-time shared library **must** be placed in a package whose name
changes whenever the SONAME of the shared library changes.
... the run-time shared library and its SONAME symlink **should** be
placed in a package named librarynamesoversion ...

My understanding is the name of the run-time shared library **must**
change when the SONAME changes, and its name  **should** should match
the soversion.  There is also a Lintian warning [2] about this.

Regards
Graham
