People who use Debian stable also aren't going to use your new library anyway. They're not running stable because they want to install a bunch of recent stuff,

  Why wouldn't they? I had to choose which version to target when writing some software lately. The production was debian stable yet I wanted to release the project for others. In the end I have to keep 2 branches - one for 2.X and another for 3.X - it was a trivial piece of code, so it's not a big problem, but I can imagine how silly it must be for bigger projects.
