I don't think we've really discussed this. My take is that for a package that does something, there's no need for both, and we should follow upstream guidance. For packages that provide libraries that link against gtk, it's harder. What package are you talking about? I think it helps to discuss the issues of a few specific packages and see how that comes out, rather than be abstract. This may be a problem (multi-version support) that does not need solving.
