At present, I would expect that to run into file conflicts with
libc6.  In the future, yes, that could be a problem without
appropriate Breaks: or Conflicts: declarations. :-/

One possible workaround could be to follow gtk+-2.0's lead: keep the
actual binaries in the lib package, but place them under /usr/lib and
have the bin package just ship symlinks to them.
