Is packaging 3.4 separately really wise?

Having two versions of VTK in the distribution is not very fun, I'm not
sure if the Release Team will be more appreciative of two versions of
OpenSceneGraph.

As maintainer of several packages that build depend on
libopen{scenegraph,threads}-dev I'm strongly in favour of a single
openscenegraph source package. Let's just prepare the transition to 3.4
in experimental.

Kind Regards,

Bas
