Sure; but does the new beagle-dev depend on libbeagle-dev?  That would let
people developing in C switch to libbeagle-dev whenever it's convenient for
them, and continue to build-depend on beagle-dev in the meantime without
their packages being broken by this transition.  (And if the C# bindings
depend on the C library, it may be necessary regardless.)
