Yes, I've read the guide. It just doesn't feel right to me to use the
name libfooX-dev when libfooX-dev and libfooY-dev cannot be installed
at the same time. But as you said, it's probably mostly a matter of
taste.
Hope you'll find a sponsor, I didn't when I packaged Jansson 1.3. The
time for packaging Jansson is also better now as version 2.0 is out
and not backward incompatible changes are going happen anytime soon.
