gtk vs gtk2 vs gtk3 is not about multiple versions of a package, though. It is 
about multiple parallel installable branches. There are independent updates for 
gtk2 and for gtk3. I don't think you can really handle that within the same 
package name. Using a major version suffix for that is a well-established 
convention - I haven't seen any actual problem with this convention mentioned 
in this discussion so far.
