If both are Arch: any (or linux-any or something similar):

Depends: libfoo (= ${binary:Version})

However, if one of the packages is Arch: all, and if you want to be
binNMU-friendly, you should probably rather use something like

Depends: libfoo (>= ${binary:Version}), libfoo (<< ${binary:Version}+b+~)

(Don't use it for the case where both are Arch: any though.)
