It's not an issue as we don't provide any content in */g++/* packages 
(besides rename metadata).

We keep A/g++/B packages in /hipster-2015 repository which are marked 
renamed and depend on corresponding A/B packages. As libraries are under 
/usr/lib now, they are picked by applications.
But if SFE application depends on later library version, it should use 
SFE-provided package. I don't know if IPS will fetch it automatically or 
user will have to add corresponding package to the list of packages to 
install.
