He, if we ever get to that version, I will eat my hat (or rather I will buy one which I can then consume :-).

But should we >break our policy and make a special naming rule for glib? No. We don't have to break any rules. The major version is 2, so the package should be called "glib2". If it laters turns out that glib 2.1 is incompatible, and we want to coexsting packages, we could name it glib2-1, but I think this is an extremly unlikely scenario.
