Just to get this straight, are the current packages for PostGIS
requiring a specific full-version of liblwgeom ? I read (for postgis):

 Depends: ...  liblwgeom-2.1.2 (>= 2.0.0) ...

What's the ">= 2.0.0" string about ?
Would any existing differently named package satisfy such dependency ?
Would changing the soname make that dependency somewhat looser ?
