[Bug 662398] Re: Version number in package name makes life hard

[Arnaud Soyez]

I might not be 100% accurate and everyone is free to correct me... but
here's the main idea:

The purpose is to avoid API and ABI breakage between your program and
the library if there is a major .

Your package should actually only have build-depends to libldap2-dev in
the debian/control file, and the packaging toolchain will automatically
add a dependency to the specific binary package (libldap2.4-X) during
the build process.

For example:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), libgstreamer0.10-dev, libxml2-dev, libglib2.0-dev
