Different packages that conflict (or, if packaging is done really well,
can be installable side-by-side).

This is like the postgresql packages that allow you to stay on an older
version, and like MySQL (debian) packages.

Basically, we get to keep doing stable releases of drizzle7 while at the
same time having stable releases of drizzle7.1 and distros don't have to
choose which one they ship - they can ship both and have a default or
people can choose.
