That's how RPM does it (and yum and apt-rpm then compute dependencies based on
that information), yes.
DPKG doesn't support that, so Debian's solution is to just call the package
providing libfoo.so.42 libfoo42, so when libfoo.so.43 comes out, the packages
will require libfoo43 and apt will know that libfoo42 is insufficient.
