It's probably me being dense. I don't know how you lot build your packages.
But I do know that a normal autoconf/automake-based build will lead to
recompilation if any of the header files on which the source code depends are
changed.
Thus, if you, a user, track xforms cvs changes and 'make install' each time
you update your local tree, then any other source code you compile that
#includes <forms.h> will be recompiled too. There is a manual step: you have
to type 'make' to recompile this other source code...
Do you plan to track cvs with you Debian packages? if not, then the above is
all moot. When we release something official, we'll most certainly up the
soname.
