Thanks a lot. That was the indeed case. I still had libvarnishapi1 3.0.2
installed. apt-get install libvarnishapi1 fixed the issue. 

I actually suspected something like that, so I ran "apt-get upgrade" as
part of the upgrade yesterday (after only doing an "apt-get install
varnish"), but apparently something prevented libvarnishapi1 from being
upgraded that way. No extra packages pulled in by running apt-get
install libvarnishapi1" this morning though, so I'm not sure why it
wasn't upgraded as part of the "apt-get upgrade".

Wouldn't this indicate a bug in the Debian packaging ? Shouldn't the
varnish 3.0.5 package depend on the libvarnishapi package in version
3.0.5, to prevent stuff like this from happening?
