I think you misunderstood the current shlibs; the point is to allow building against the FAM API and ABI and depend on libfam0 (provided by libgamin0) if programs are linked to libfam. This means you can build-dep on fam or on gamin if you use the FAM API and this will result on a dep on the FAM ABI and allow users to install either FAM or Gamin as an implementation of the FAM ABI. You can also use the Gamin API and link to libgamin which will result in a dep on the Gamin ABI.
