To be honest, the upstream developers should be fairly in the known regarding my opinion expressed in the blog posts, as they replied and read them before. We could also find other ways to deal with this by installing the packages as different library names and subverting pkg-config to choose between the two, but that would only work for packages using pkg-config to begin with and does not solve the transitive dependencies problem.
