I don't see here an issue for us, but for distro packages creators. 

In any distro, when package A depend on version X of package B where X is not 
the default version for B on the target distro release version, then a 
package B-X that can be installed side-by-side without conflicts with the 
default package B is created.

That has been true from always for autotools packages, back-ward compatibility 
libraries,  libstdc++ versions needed to run closed binaries, etc.

Why should it be diferent when related about DB-XSL versions?
