The usual way to prevent this is to advocate fixed versions (or
backported patches) to the distributions. I think it's the only valid
way too, since as you note, the application programmer has no choice
and should not have to care about the versions. It's really the
distribution who has the responsibility to provide fixed versions of
software.
