+Maintainer Notes (moved from README.md)
+=======================================
+
+* the project version number is actually the SO ABI version.  The release
+  point numbers (0.16-r3) isn't used for Debian.
+
+* it's intentional that the SONAME is libyang.so.0.16 and not libyang.so.0.
+  ABI compatibility is indicated by the first two numbers being equal;
+  the third number is incremented for compatible changes.  cf.
+  CESNET/libyang#656
+
+* the watch file doesn't work yet but the libyang people agreed to make
+  future release tags the same as the internal version number.  At that point
+  the watch file will work.
