Hm, I'd still not suggest to put more than one library in a binary package 
nonetheless, but opinions may vary ;).

You should put a version somewhere to the package name for the reasons given 
in my last mail, but isn't directly related to your problem that a binary 
package built with this library won't get the depends set correctly.

For some reasons unknown to me, it seems that the symlink with the name of the 
SONAME (that link, that ldconfig usually would create) needs to be in the 
library package in order for dpkg-shlibdeps to find the right dependencies. 
Maybe that's the reason that your program got the wrong dependencies?

Cheers,
    Stefan.
