Gentoo calls this "slotting", in which multiple versions of a dependency package
can be installed simultaneously. To quote [1],
This is useful for libraries which may have changed interfaces between
versions - for example, the gtk+ package can install both versions 2.24
and 3.6 in parallel. This feature is called slotting.
