Just out of curiosity: how can a DBD not be backwards compatible? I
understand that the underlying engine might not be backwards

Fine, but that doesn't really address the problem of existing programs
breaking, does it? What happens when both libdbd-sqlite2-perl and
libdbd-sqlite-perl are installed and one of these programs gets run?
