Public bug reported: These are two different, API/ABI-incompatible library versions (installed under different directories, having different SONAME).
I should be able to install both versions at once, and let the build script of apps choose which one they're building against. Just as I can install e.g. libgtk2.0-dev and libgtk-3-dev at the same time.
