Now I'm confused, as I don't see a libgdamm[-]3.0-9 package in either
debian/unstable or ubuntu.

Since debian currently ships the binary libgdamm3.0-8 (probably, to avoid ABI
breakage by using a different binary package name), and ubuntu has
libgdamm-3.0-8 and the new version has a different SONAME, no dummy package
or conflicts/replaces are necessary at all.

Cheers,
