Since this is becoming a blocker now for vlc and the libav transition, would you
accept a patch that splits the shared libraries into separate binary packages?
After that, a round of binNMUs is enough for the reverse dependencies to pick up
the correct dependencies and this should not be a issue any longer.

Please let me know what you think and I'll start working on a patch.
