I believe the reason is that for a long time, upstream did not manage
their soname versioning correctly, leaving it at zero despite breaking
ABI, and finally with parted 3.0, jumped to 2 since they removed the
filesystem apis.  So debian packaged the library as -0debian1.  I'm
not sure why they put the 0 in the -dev package as well.
