and libprotobuf3 cannot replace libprotobuf2 as the libraries have
different SONAMEs. this is the whole point of a SONAME.
furthermore, conflicting and replacing with old versions of your library
package completely breaks orderly transitions. fortunately, there are
no reverse dependencies on libprotobufN outside of the protobuf source
package.
