I wonder if this shouldn't be like libreadline-dev. This virtual package is provided by both libreadline4-dev and libreadline5-dev. Packages generally compile against both. People depending on readline would use something like: Build-Depends: libreadline5-dev | libreadline-dev meaning it compiles against whatever you have installed, only installing libreadline5-dev if you don't have either...
