Ah, yes indeed. If/when this situation arises, having separate packages
would be a solution.

Again, I guess it's too early to really draw a plan about what will
happen between uClibc and uClibc-ng. It really all depends on how both
projects will be maintained: if you continue to be active on uClibc-ng
or not, if the original uClibc project moves again or not, etc. So
let's not make too much plans, and see what happens :-)

However, one plan I'd like to make is to make uClibc-ng the default
uClibc version. Maybe for 2015.05, if not for 2015.08.
