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.*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79168 Sep 12 2003 /usr/local/lib/libpq.so.3*

[yertle]% psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4

[yertle]% ls -l /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root postgres 98240 Nov 26 13:41 /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.3*

In PG 7.2, it was libpq.so.2
