I think this kind of dependency constraints should ideally be specified in the .cabal file, so that the debian maintainer will only need to add them to debian/control. I don't think we should strict to the exact version of the library package that was used to make the build. Sometimes upstream developers may break things, but that should not be the usual scenario.
