Usually, what we try to do (both from the upstream or packager
perspective) is to keep a consistent way to manage API for libraries.
For example, you could consider to rename the package libdiet-sed2.8 to
libdiet-sed0
and only change the number when a change in the API/ABI occurs.
However, if you believe that libdiet-sed2.8, libdiet-client2.8,
libdiet-dagda2.8 or libdiet-admin2.8 won't ever be used by other
applications than diet, don't bother.
