There is at least one major downside of the current behavior. You
completely loose the flexibility to choose that your package is able to
run with an older version of libfoo. There is always a strict dependency
on the latest version which can be a real hassle if you try to backport
packages. Unfortunately we don't have a C/C++ mechanism like symbols
files in Java but the answer should not be to enforce a dependency on
the latest version.
