libftdi-1.0 is not in Debian or Ubuntu; I presume that's because it
hasn't yet been released. I imagine the distros would like to keep
one version, not two, if possible.
The naming (libftdi1) is because the SONAME was bumped from 0 to 1 by
this commit back in 2007:
http://developer.intra2net.com/git/?p=libftdi;a=commit;h=47aad3776a1e38598953e5c59e88c06ee7c45087
due to backwards-incompatible changes to struct ftdi_context, even
though the human-friendly version is still called "0.x".
libftdi-1.x has a SONAME of 2 so the Debian package would be "libftdi2"
