If all the SONAMEs of the libraries will *always* be kept in lockstep,
absolutely guaranteed, then you can probably combine them safely into one
binary package. Just be aware that you are signing yourself (and the
package's users) up for a complicated and tricky transition if at some
point upstream breaks that guarantee and the SONAMEs diverge.
