By the next apt-get upgrade the link was unfortunately changed:

wollw@hermine:/usr/lib$ ls -l libX11.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-01-15 12:22 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2.0.hardy
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-01-15 12:20 libX11.so.6.2 -> libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 986540 2008-11-03 11:47 libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 944876 2008-11-03 11:47 libX11.so.6.2.0.hardy

I guess it depends on the packages involved in the upgrade process whether the link is changed or not.
Is there no way to prevent this?
