 I think this would be a problem for two reasons:
 - might prevent moving from one package to the other (if you only have
   packages depending on libglib1.2 installed, you might not move from
   libglib1.2 to libglib1.2ldbl on upgrades)
 - versions in dependencies wouldn't be honored anymore (as versionned
   provides aren't supported)

 It would be best for debian-multimedia to do the same transition and
 update debs for etch / lenny / sid when these dists are updated.
