This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.8.0+14.10.20141005-0ubuntu1

---------------
mir (0.8.0+14.10.20141005-0ubuntu1) 14.09; urgency=medium

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * New upstream release 0.8.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.8.0)
    - Enhancements:
      . Less sensitivity to ABI breaks - many headers unused by external
        projects are now hidden and not installed by -dev packaes. If you
        require any headers that are missing, just ask.
      . Touchspots: --enable-touchspots to servers; visually shows touch
        locations (warning: This affects performance LP: #1373692).
      . Client performance reporting: Any Mir client can now get accurate
        performance information (frame rate, render time, buffer lag etc)
        logged to stdout. Just set env MIR_CLIENT_PERF_REPORT=log
      . Further improved touch responsiveness, with less lag and smoother
        scrolling (so long as you don't enable touchspots).
      . Slightly faster builds using precompiled headers.
      . Turn hardware overlays on by default. When in use, this halves the
        CPU usage of a Mir server. Already enabled in unity-system-compositor.
      . More scripting to detect ABI breaks.
      . Improved src/ tree consistency (renamed "src/shared" to "src/common").
      . Improved fatal signal design: Changed from SIGTERM to SIGHUP delivered
        to clients on unexpected server disconnection.
      . Improved library/package design to allow concurrent installations
        of different Mir versions without conflicts.
      . Fd reception code is now common to client and server.
    - ABI summary: Servers need rebuilding, but clients do not;
      . Mirclient ABI unchanged at 8
      . Mircommon ABI bumped to 2
      . Mirplatform ABI bumped to 3
      . Mirserver ABI bumped to 26
    - API changes between Mir 0.7 and 0.8:
      . Lots of headers removed from the public SDK! We have only hidden
        headers not known to be used by any known projects. Please let us
        know if anything is missing - https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+filebug
      . graphics::Platform - interface changed significantly.
      . Lots of server API changes to support touchspots.
      . File descriptors now passed as type Fd instead of int32_t.

Title:
  [regression] Mir deb packages with versioned names cannot be installed
  simultaneously any more

Bug description:
  Mir has some packages with ABI-versioned names (libmirserver17,
  libmirclient7) so that multiple versions can be installed
  simultaneously, in theory. However this plan is not working;

  Package: libmirserver17
  Section: libs
  Architecture: i386 amd64 armhf arm64
  Multi-Arch: same
  Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}
  Depends: ${misc:Depends},
           ${shlibs:Depends},
           libmirplatform (= ${binary:Version}),
           libmirplatformgraphics-mesa (= ${binary:Version}) |
             libmirplatformgraphics-android (= ${binary:Version}),

  When we bump an ABI number, we also increase the ${binary:Version}. So
  you can see from the names that libmirplatform* can only have one
  version installed at a time. And that indirectly means that
  libmirserverN can never be installed simultaneously with
  libmirserverN+1.

  This also leads to annoying CI failures as we're seeing this week:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libmirserver16 : Depends: libmirplatform (= 0.1.6+14.04.20140310-0ubuntu1) but 0.1.7+autopilot0 is to be installed
                    Depends: libmirplatformgraphics-mesa (= 0.1.6+14.04.20140310-0ubuntu1) but 0.1.7+autopilot0 is to be installed or
                             libmirplatformgraphics-android (= 0.1.6+14.04.20140310-0ubuntu1) but 0.1.7+autopilot0 is to be installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

  There are at least two possible solutions I can think of so far:

  (1) Change our Depends' to not use straight equality. So we must change:
     libmirplatform (= ${binary:Version}),
  to:
     libmirplatform (>= ${binary:Version}),
  or even to
     libmirplatform (>= some_older_version_based_on_real_requirements),

  (2) Change libplatform* to include some ABI number in their names. Not
  ideal.

  I like (1).
