Description

You can't install librados1-dev.deb and librados2-dev.deb at the same time anyway, they both contain /usr/include/rados/librados.h etc. Debian Policy says in this case, they need to conflict with each other: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-sharedlibs-dev

An easier way around this is to not use the soname in the deb name (and do the conflicts as a single-time transition, from e.g. librados2-dev to librados-dev). This is pretty common:

$ apt-cache search --names-only -- dev|grep '[0-9]-dev'|wc -l

$ apt-cache search --names-only - -dev|grep '[^0-9]-dev'|wc -l
