Since all you'll be doing is putting in manually what shlibs:Depends would
have added, I don't think you're going to benefit much. If you're thinking
of gutting the versions, please reconsider -- they're there for very good
reason (ensuring that you don't go linking against a library version that
might not have all the symbols you need), and it'll almost certainly break
something, at some time, and be a right pest to debug.
