To throw an opinion into the pot, I like the current system. It makes
perfect sense to me to consider 'gnome-desktop' and 'gnome-desktop3' to
be two different things, 'autoconf' and 'autoconf213' as two different
things, and so on and so forth. Conceptually that's what they are.
This reminds me of the MySQL/MariaDB situation--several similar but
slightly different issues:
- both packages own the same files (file name overlap)
- at the same time packages are not identical and have unique files too
- some applications require 'a' database but don't care which one
- for historical reasons dependencies have a specific requirement
(normally mysql) even though the package would work with either one
- and of course it's possible that a package might require a specific
dependency
