Well, it started as sqlite3, with good reason. Look:

-rwxr-xr-x root  root     29844 /usr/bin/sqlite3
lrwxrwxrwx root  root        19 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0
-rwxr-xr-x root  root    316204 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
-rw-r--r-- root  root     52690 /usr/include/sqlite3.h
-rw-r--r-- root  root    403624 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.a
-rwxr-xr-x root  root       819 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.la
lrwxrwxrwx root  root        19 /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so
-rw-r--r-- root  root       231 /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc

Sure, the v2 sqlite package could be rename to sqlite0 or sqlite2 if it
will still be needed. But that's not the point.
