To be more precise:
do you expect people being able to install Krita3 next to Krita2.9? I guess 
no, given the conflict at least when it comes to executable name (and menu 
entries).

So this is about being able to install Krita3 next to e.g. Calligra Words2.9 
or Karbon2.9, right?
So where do you expect problems here, where would/could things installed 
clash, assuming at least the krita app program has been put into a separate 
package?
Plugins and libs should not, given the libs renamed and the plugins living in 
different folders (and lookup methods).
Any other resources where things might clash? If there are, possibly worth to 
check also Calligra3 & Krita3 for such.

Cheers
Friedrich
