If all the SONAMEs of the libraries will *always* be kept in lockstep, absolutely guaranteed, then you can probably combine them safely into one binary package. Just be aware that you are signing yourself (and the package's users) up for a complicated and tricky transition if at some point upstream breaks that guarantee and the SONAMEs diverge. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
