Using the sqlite3 naming seems like asking for trouble based on how upstream works.
SQLite4 is an alternative, not a replacement, for SQLite3. SQLite3 is not going away. SQLite3 and SQLite4 will be supported in parallel. The SQLite3 legacy will not be abandoned. SQLite3 will continue to be maintained and improved. But designers of new systems will now have the option to select SQLite4 instead of SQLite3 if desired.
I know the official repositories do this, but it doesn't work when upstream considers new releases to be independent projects and will continue development of the old one - even new features and performance enhancements. When SQLite4 is released as stable, there's going to be a problem.
