SWIG generated wrappers are loaded as plain old "_mymodule.pyd" (Python 2.5) or "_mymodule.so" (earlier versions).

I do not know if the Debian loader can load _mymodule.pyd.5.1.6 when Python dlopens _mymodule.pyd. If so, we just need to change the name of the library. If not, then it will work for the package to have a symbolic link to the version-named actual shared library, e.g. from _mymodule.pyd to _mymodule.pyd.5.1.6. 

So I think we just need to change the names of the targets to include the version number for the interface shared libraries. I will do this when I refactor the interface shared libraries.

Regards,
Mike
