I would suggest to prepare two distinct binary packages, one for fbpdf
and the other for fbpdf2, with different dependencies.
The two binary packages could be built from the same source package or
from two distinct source packages, whichever solution you prefer.

I think the separation into two distinct binary packages is important,
especially for such a minimalistic program, because it would avoid
pulling unneeded dependencies, when you install one package on a
resource-limited system and you only want to use one of the two program
variants...
