Since the SONAMEs are different, you probably can just ship it as is,
without renaming the libraries. Only thing that would be needed is the
Conflicts between the -dev package and the pgplot equivalent.
Upstream will need to be aware that SONAME 5 is for the non-free
version and they should not use it until they are binary-compatible
with it.
