Upstream policy is to keep API stable for <major> (=2) releases, so it seemed to be a good idea to express that into a library name and keep it aligned with -dev package names. However my preferrence is not solid here, and if you think this should be renamed to libgd3 I won't resist (and will do that with upload when uploading to unstable).
