All we can do with the dependency system (not yet done) would be to

I'm not sure if this is really possible (is it possible to install
several packages providing the same virtual package ?)
Yes, that is fine. The typical pattern for most packages that provide
virtual packages is to also conflict with the same virtual package,
because that doesn't make sense, but if you don't declare that conflict,
packages will happily co-install.
Since these provide a shared library with a fixed name, the ICD loaders
either need to conflict or provide alternatives.
