As I suggested in the fedora downstream ticket... I'd urge strong 
consideration of renaming *both* libraries.  Ask both upstreams their 
preferences for renaming, but make it clear that not renaming is not an 
option.

I'd assume (hope!) other distributions would favor this approach as 
well.  I'd encourage other distros to followup here and in the upstream 
references made by Jan, to help come to consensus on the best way forward.
