But the first one. What package provides libnautilus-extension.so.1?

$ urpmq --whatprovides libnautilus-extension.so.1
libnautilus1

Or libevview.so.1?

$ urpmq --whatprovides libevview.so.1
libevince1


These are examples from mandriva, not from moblin, but it's just to show that the different between both package formats is irrelevant. What makes a difference is the repositories infrastructure and the tools around them to solve dependencies.

And even if I find out what package has these specific files, is there any version dependencies?

If it's needed it can be specified in the spec file

I know that rpm allows you to specify the package names as dependencies. It can even be seen on the Moblin package above. But, as this requires some (quite minimal) effort from the packager to do so, most packagers seem to be lazy and use only the automatic dependencies generated from the file names of the used libraries. With deb packages this problem can not occur.

Unless you forget a dependency and your package won't work once installed?
