Library SONAME requirement for _external_ builds ought to stay implicit/automatic, but _libraries and subpackages_ are a different problem space. A library update may add stuff without changing its SONAME and while staying compatible with existing executables in external packages. But executables shipped with the library package (in subpackages) may strictly need the very latest library.
