Yes, I know about this warning. That's why I shortly mentioned that you
might consider two library and two dev packages. However, I would only
do this split is it makes sense from the *content* of the library, i.e.
if each single library would make sense in its own. Otherwise you might
consider overriding the lintian warning and add a comment inside the
override file, why splitting makes no sense.

That's no question of name but rather a question of content. There are
control files (try "apt-get source blast2" for example) which even
create different version numbers for some of the binary packages. So
there is no need to bother about different naming.
Kind regards
Andreas.
