Great!

libunwind-setjmp is not affected by the libunwind version number, so
it's version number doesn't need to change.

Would it be difficult/cumbersome to provide a separate
libunwind-setjmp package?  If so, would it help if we just changed the
minor version number of libunwind-setjmp.so?

Ah, I see, splitting the package by itself wouldn't help now that
there already is the libunwind1 package.

I'd prefer not to change the major version number of libunwind-setjmp.
Is a minor version change sufficient?
