It seems this fix was newer released. It was only commited in https://git.launchpad.net/ppa-purge/commit/?id=eb366bba8ae2613f591271eb8a33fdacf5f2ad97

I did my fork from a later commit (https://git.launchpad.net/~jarnos/ppa-purge/) and later modified the soname bumping mechanism and made it optional there.

I still not quite understand the need for such special soname handling. Was gnome3-staging somehow broken so that downgrading a gnome package did not install depending downgraded soname library or what? Do we still need special soname handling?
