-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 The soname versioning allows for cleaner dependency handling when the ABI
 changes incompatably between released versions.  There is a sort of sweet
 spot for how often to change the soname, see the discussion here:

 guide.html#upstreamconcerns

 Versioning the soname will also remove the packaging warning:

 W: mlpack-dev: shlib-without-versioned-soname usr/lib/libmlpack.so
 libmlpack.so
