Libc binaries have a different name per architecture, so writing
the Depends field is quite painful. But this can be done easily
in conjunction with a shlib bump, like with 2.4, yes.
I wonder though if /etc/ld.so.conf.d/foo.conf is a good choice.
Do these files really need to be configuration files, or can
we use /lib/ld.so.conf.d/foo.conf instead?
Admins can always edit /etc/ld.so.conf if they want to adjust
it manually.
