Is there something depending on both?

As far as I can tell, all upstream has done is document the incompatibility:

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit#notice-prompt_toolkit-20

In my experience python module developers don't typically create
separate packages when breaking compatibility. They rely on the ability
for users to pin particular versions, and follow semantic versioning, so
incompatible changes can be made across major version changes.
