Upstream policy is to keep API stable for <major> (=2) releases, so it
seemed to be a good idea to express that into a library name and keep
it aligned with -dev package names. However my preferrence is not
solid here, and if you think this should be renamed to libgd3 I won't
resist (and will do that with upload when uploading to unstable).
