Speaking as a maintainer who has been having library packages that
contained several libraries (Qt, kdelibs, kde4libs, kdepimlibs,
kdebase-workspace and ....) - we have ended up splitting everything so
that 1 library goes in one package. I can only recommend that to others
because:
- users of your libraries might only use one of them, and thus gets
fewer dependencies
- if upstream changes ABI of one of the libraries, you can change that
one packagename and create a smaller transition
- make it easier to manage thinrgs with symbol files rather than shlibs
files
....
(and as a side effect you end up without such issues as you are
describing)
