I asked for it to be changed from sqlite3 to sqlite b/c it made little
sense to me that the package should be named sqlite3 when we weren't
providing sqlite(any number) in the rest of the distro.

add to that the the upstream package name is sqlite, not sqlite3 and I
didn't see a compelling reason to have an odd ball virtual provide  (and
dep) for the package.
