OK, so it doesn't sound like that would be very safe.  Thanks for your 
help so far.  The last way I can think of to do this cleanly would be:

Install a new libvorbis package with
libvorbis.so.0, libvorbis.so.0.2.0
libvorbisfile.so.3, libvorbisfile.so.3.0.0

and then make a new package (using, say, rc3 code), let's call it 
libvorbis-compat, that includes
libvorbisfile.so.0, libvorbisfile.so.0.2.0

This should allow everything to work properly, if the answer to one 
question is what I hope it is:

Can old versions of libvorbisfile.so.* (and maybe libvorbisenc.so.*) 
coexist with a newer version of libvorbis.so.0 ?
