Independently of what the current packaging guidelines say about this
(apparently, "compat-" is not even a thing anymore there, see Rathann's
reply), it simply does not make sense to use any sort of prefixing or
suffixing to the package name when the old and the new library have
different package names (as in this case: libqmatrixclient vs. libquotient).
If the actual sonames are conflicting, then that needs to be dealt with (but
that would be an upstream issue then, they ought to use a different soname
if the libraries are not binary-compatible!), but it does not require
mangling the package name.
