Maintainer Notes

================

* the project version number is actually the SO ABI version.

* it's intentional that the SONAME is libyang.so.0.16 and not libyang.so.0.

  ABI compatibility is indicated by the first two numbers being equal;

  the third number is incremented for compatible changes.  cf.

  CESNET/libyang#656

* the watch file doesn't work yet but the libyang people agreed to make

  future release tags the same as the internal version number.  At that point

  the watch file will work.

* python3-yang-dbg follows the recommendations from

  https://wiki.debian.org/Python/LibraryStyleGuide#Building_python_-dbg_packages
