That's actually not a problem most of the time. Some upstreams even
unnecessarily bump their soversion. But maintaining two (or potentially
more) versions of a library does create significant extra work for the
packager.  One example is the Coin package, currently Coin2/Coin3/Coin4
with all the alternatives gunk.
