6 Doesn't work, you'd have to rebuild *all* the packages built with one
7 or the other when switching, or (if the SONAME were the same) they
8 would be built against a different ABI that they are built against,
9 which can be possibly causing security issues as data structure size
10 (and thus meaning of the content) changes.
