 In what sense? Upstream ABI breakages don't help, I wait for 3.17 at
least if that helps - not upgrading it to middle versions.

 Debian doesn't recompile dependent packages for new releases. Doing
library transitions (due to new soname) is an everyday thing for us.
The workflow is documented [1], I will not repeat it here. There are
forty-two dependent packages that need to be rebuilt for such a case,
not a big number. I'm open to schedule the transition if upstream
changes the soname.
