Agreed, this needs to be done.

Yes, I think they're API compatible.

No, unfortunately they're not, you need to do something along the lines
of "sqlite foo.db .dump | sqlite3 foo3.db", which of course means that
both sqlite and sqlite3 (the binary) should be installed.

We'll probably have to take a look at what other packages did for
transitioning. We have the advantage of being quite late on this :-)
