libgda 2.0 (there are no tarball releases yet, I think) is meant to
install in parallel with libgda 1.2, so there should be no problem. If
you find conflicts then you should tell upstream as soon as possible.
Or are you talking about libgda 1.0 versus libgda 1.2? I think in both
1.0 and 1.2, the libs very actually called libgda2, to add to the
confusion.

What upstream version of libgda is that?
