I would suggest that you submit librealsense1 as a separate package,
instead. The applications that use the older versions should probably
be linked to the older one, but things should progressively migrate to
the newer one.

And add Provides: librealsense2 so people can find the same package name in debianland and fedoraland.

I have seem than the README file of *a lot* of app list requirements and build requeriments using the names of packages in Debian/Ubuntu and some times it is not trivial to find the equivalent package name for epel/fedora
