This was suggested earlier but rejected by protobuf maintainer. "1) Can libprotobuf10 and libprotobuf17 installed together and independent packages working correctly with these libraries? Yes, these are possible. I don't see the need to break the old libprotobuf10 package. 2) Packages that depend on each other, need to be compiled with the same ProtoBuf version. This should be expressed in those package dependencies." https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=910964#29 Though the suggestion by protobuf maintainer was not acceptable to ignition-msgs maintainer https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900429#36
