You could simply merge libmlt6 and libmlt++3 in a single package since anyway
the users need to install both.
The current situation means that the ABI of libmlt6 and libmlt++3 are linked,
which is dangerous if libmlt++3 soname get bumped but not libmlt6
So you might need to move the plug-ins to a separate package.
However, as far as I see, only mlt/libmltqt.so require libmlt++3, so maybe
there is a better way to split the package.
