The libs are definitely parallel installable.
This could makessome sense, if these
are really used and if
vulnerabilities can be reacted upon/fixed in the old versions.
If the latter doesn't apply, it would be better to those remove package
which requires these old libs from the distro.
The binaries share a name
so we could use alternatives and default to version 6.
IMO, alternatives don't
make any sense, here, because alternatives
requires binaries to be call backward compatible.
Versioned binaries could make some sense if the these binaries are not
call-compatible.
