[opensuse-packaging] Shared Library Packaging Policy for alternate implementations?

Hi,
The Shared Library Packaging Policy says that the name of a library
package is to be derived from the library's SONAME. What if there is
a compatible alternative implementation of the library? Of course
it has the same SONAME. Reusing the same package name would result
in version confusion though. Are there any recommendations for
naming packages of such alternative implementations?
