+
+I think would be better to keep the old libattica0 package and rename
+the library to libattica0.4 since ABI was changed.
+In attica changelog we can see there a warning regarding this change:
+
+Warning: Non-*ABI* compatible commit. You must rebuild KDE plugins after
+    updating or you might/will experience crashes. API compatible.
+
+This way would not break anything, and i think this would be the more
+correct approach, at least its what i saw in other libraries.
