Hi,
first of all rasqal > 0.9.21 and redland > 1.0.12, both requires raptor >= 
2.0.0 to build, that's because they are out-of-date.
Said that, we cannot ship a redland-base package (for example) and add a 
redland-compat package which provides the libraries built with raptor1 and 
depends on redland-base.

The only way to install the both version redland and redland-compat is to 
rename every file in the redland-compat package, (maybe using --program-suffix/-
prefix) but this will require patches for things like soprano (cmake files and 
headers have to point to the -compat stuff). Patches are welcome.

I've no others idea. We've to wait KDE devs port it to raptor2.
