Looks like the package got renamed because of a C++ ABI transition some
years ago.

It's probably the best solution, and certainly the easiest. If the ABI
of one of the libraries should ever change, you can take this as an
opportunity to split the package into the individual libraries, but
since there's apparently no upstream for snacc anymore this is unlikely
to ever happen.
