Comment 7 for bug 311804

This needs to be a merge: http://patches.ubuntu.com/libr/libraw1394/libraw1394_1.3.0-4ubuntu1.patch

Also, changing the soname would require a lot of package rebuilds, and testing them. (apt-cache rdepends libraw1394-8). Are you willing to drive that process and test at least some of the reverse dependencies?
