You should find your answer in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgamin0.shlibs. If
your binary (as in the ELF binary, as reported by ldd) links against
libfam, the package will end up with a dependency on libfam0; if your
binary links against libgamin-1, the package will end up with a
dependency on libgamin0.

If you want to force libgamin0, link against libgamin-1 explicitly.
