Even then, the question may come back to what is the intention
of libftdi-1.0?

Is the intention to replace libftdi-0.1x, then it is probably a better
idea to put it in the same location. Right now only one can exist
in the same place (/usr or /usr/local) anyway -- they can not coexist
under /usr. I suspect this is the original intention and then it is
better to be compatible with libftdi-0.1x and put the header in
the same place.

Is the intention not to replace libftdi-0.1x but create a new library,
in that case, it is better to rename the header file so that it
can easily coexist with the old library.
