This is not the proper solution. Because of this libimobiledevice1 and libimobiledevice2 are not co-installable and they need to be coinstallable to ensure a proper transition from one to the other. If the FDI file can be shared between both versions of the library (which I guess), then you should put it in a -common package and have that package "Replaces" the old version of libimobiledevice1 / libimobiledevice2 that provide this file. Of course you should add a dependency on the -common package. If the FDI file can't be shared, they you must discuss with upstream to find a good solution. Right now anything that depends on libimobiledevice2 in uninstallable until all packages depending on libimobiledevice1 have been updated. This is a painful transition and it affects GNOME3. I can review and sponsor you for this specific fix if you want.
