Ok, no problem. Probably the debian maintainer will tell you that.

Ok, I don't want to be contrary to your wishes :-) , I'm just asking about why 
this numbers. If I would like to develop a program that use libopenraw, what 
is the versioning/abi that I have to look on?

Ok, but this is dcraw. So I understand that libopenraw uses the same. In the 
ufraw list [1]  you commented something about to do:

so, may I understand that you have done that? and you are using it in openraw?

I have not look deeply the libopenraw code yet, but I have looked the wiki, 
but this process have not been clear for me, so any help will be appreciated.
