As I understand it, the package names should be libticables2-1,
libticalcs2-2, libtifiles2-3, and libticonv2.  This causes tilp2 (and
other packages that use the libraries) to depend on a specific API
version.  It also means that you can have multiple versions of the library
installed at once if you have programs that have been compiled against
different API versions (which is, after all, the reason the so has a
version number.)  The package 'libticables2' would be API version 2 of the
original libticables library.

The package version numbers, however, should still be
1.0.3/1.0.2/1.0.2/1.0.1.
