Stephen, and everyone else who pointed out that coinstallability is a non-issue - thanks!
About the additional work in fuse/fuse3, #918984 and #927291, I wonder if they are relevant to the libfuse consumers. Anyway, if we believe fuse3 works just fine with libfuse2-* consumers, then it seems like we should fix the package relationships between fuse3 and fuse. I'll followup in #927291 with suggestions.
