Then you would have 
/opt/gnome210/lib/libgda-2.so for libgda 1.2 
and
/opt/gnome210/lib/libgda-2-0.so for libgda 2.0

That will definitely lead to some confusion. Remember that libgda 1.2
will still be installed on lots of systems for a long time.

I'd choose libgda-3.0.pc and libgda-3.0.so. Actually, during the
development phase, you probably want to call the .so libgda-2.9.so.
