There are a number deb packaging policies that rpm would be wise to adopt.A package's shared libraries get rolled into a separate <library><soname> package right off the bat. An ABI break and a transition where both the new and the old libraries must coexist becomes a nothing-burger. The updated package's libraries go into a subpackage with, effectively, a new name that does not cause the older library's uninstallation. There is no need to create a compat package. It's the same package, from the previous version.
