Which is the case when:

 - a library (libfoo0) is linked to libncurses5
 - a program links to both libfoo0 and libncurses5
 - the library is recompiled to link against libncurses6

Can we avoid that case by enforcing such libraries to change its package
name (libfoo0 -> libfoo0a) in order to force dependening programs to be
recompiled?
