Is there no way to make a new libbz2 package which does NOT conflict with
the new libbz2-1 package? That libbz2 package would only need the library
itself and that should not conflict. Looks like the cleanest solution to
me. 

Hmm, source for that compatibility library could be bzip2-obsolete or 
something. 

Just my 0.02$
