So, package libA should really conflict with every program that was previously
compiled with it, to minimize confusion.
To achieve that goal, a package rename can happen.
I am worried looking at the confusion libgtk rename is causing,
because people seem to think having a nonworking package
(libsdl-image1.2/libsdl-perl/frozen-bubble)
than conflicting packages that cannot be installed at the same
time (and probably rightly).
