I think you should bump the revision at least on major version
upgrade. See in FreeBSD:
[fp01]% psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.3.4
contains support for command-line editing
[fp01]% ls -l /usr/local/lib/libpq.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 99372 Sep 12 2003 /usr/local/lib/libpq.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Sep 12 2003 /usr/local/lib/libpq.so@ -> libpq.so.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79168 Sep 12 2003 /usr/local/lib/libpq.so.3*

In PG 7.2, it was libpq.so.2
