The Debian approach is that you should have precisely one installed
copy of a library for each soname. I guess there's no particular
reason you can't have multiple versions in the repository (possiby
built by different source packages) but users will only be able to
install one of them. This follows from there being a single /usr/lib
and ldconfig picking a single version for each soname.
