Description
As of libgee 0.7.x and 0.8.x, a major API update occurred (and the update from 0.6 to 0.7 was closed in #30894). Is it possible to support both versions in the tree, similarly to how (e.g.) FreeBSD or Fedora do so: by providing a libgee06 (supporting gee-1.0) and a libgee (supporting gee-0.8)?

Yes, this is possible as the two versions can be installed in parallel.
It makes sense to do this as part of the upgrade to GNOME 3.8/3.10 currently in testing and hope to commit to the active tree this week.
Currently all libgee dependents use the older (1.0) version. After the upgrade almost all dependents will move to the newer (0.8) version but at least one (pdfpc) will not. So having two ports makes sense for now or at least until there is no further need for it.
Thanks for your suggestion.
