No, I meant that Lenny has a clear rule for transition, whereas I could 
not find such information for Ubuntu. Since the transition happened 
during the Hardy developement time-frame, I don't know what Ubuntu did. 
Maybe I am missing something, but I found the distribution of two ABI at 
the same time extremely annoying in Ubuntu (typically, debian has a 
package liblapack_pic, very useful to build a shared atlas by yourself, 
but contrary to all other fortran libraries - renamed for the gfortran 
transition - this one got gfortran ABI without name change).

cheers,

David
