Yes, I was thinking of simply installing the new package and copying
/usr/lib/libvpx.so.1.3.0
from a backup and add the links
/usr/lib/libvpx.so.1
/usr/lib/libvpx.so.1.3
manually, instead of building a package for the old version.

However, I can't do this for
/usr/lib/libvpx.so
and the bins, that perhaps aren't needed from the old package.

$ pacman -Ql libvpx
libvpx /usr/
libvpx /usr/bin/
libvpx /usr/bin/vp8_scalable_patterns
libvpx /usr/bin/vp9_spatial_scalable_encoder
libvpx /usr/bin/vpxdec
libvpx /usr/bin/vpxenc
libvpx /usr/include/
