   That looks nice, I like that a lot.  You might want to make
libogg-SO-1.0.0.7 depend on libogg-1.0.0.8, though.  Otherwise
libogg-1.0.0.8 could be deinstalled, leaving around a bunch
of packages that depend on the (now useless) old version of
the library.

   This also would have the advantage that a 'make update' for
libogg should work as expected and cleanly update everything
that depends on both the old and the new version of the library.
