These should add possible (but not guaranteed!) compatibility for packages
built against ABI-broken versions of libraries, i.e. packages where the
assemblies inside have removed methods or properties. We expect some
breakage to be reported, but it should be less annoying for users of a wide
variety of distributions not to block installation of their old packages.

on removed symbols. Renaming is technically correct and ensures that users
cannot install packages which are potentially incompatible with library
changes... but it would forcibly uninstall a lot of packages for people, which
they won't expect. We would prefer some apps don't run properly and be told
about those problems (which we can deal with on a per-case basis).
