Can you explain (or find a link) where the soname number comes from?
In this case, the libtool library version info is equal to 11:0:2.
Where does the 9 come from? Guess: it's 11 - 2, but why?

Relatedly, should I manually rename the binary package (and only the
binary package?) to libgoocanvas-2.0-9 in debian/control, or should I
do it with some variable substitution?
